Since i got the car, the passenger door has had no "clip" to stop it from swinging open. When i was parked on my bf's drive the other night (on a slight slope) we left the door open for a while and it became 'stuck' behind the front wheel arch panel. managed to "wiggle" it free but now if you open the passenger door fully you have to "wiggle" it shut again, is my door going to need to be rehung?

The clip you want is the door check strap. Unless you pushed it hard too far the hinges should be fine. Does the door seem loose and can move up and down a bit?

thanks for that, are they easy to fit or is it best to get the garage to do it? it has a small amount of give but not lots, to shut it again we just gently opened and closed it.

nope its not hard just need a socket set and some extra grease.

should take 5 mins if you have the door card off. and if the bolts don't get cross threaded like mine had to drill the buggers off. at lease i found out how to take the door on and off again.

need to remove door card

then undo 2 bolts and remove strap

then apply a little grease to new one and use old bolts to re fit.

i think the part was about a tenner from pug dealer.
