Thanks to all for your responses. I'm going to answer all at once
rather than blitz the thread with separate little posts.

To ":::Jerry::::" - yes, as far as this car is concerned I am a
skinflint.

To Rob Morley - A friend also said he'd take the car to a mate with a
MIG welder - problem is he's several hundred miles away. I'm also
tempted not to bother locking the car any more, at least not when it's
parked in that part of sarflunnen.

To Chris Bacon - The problem with a steering lock (I guess you mean one
of those things that fit between the steering wheel and a pedal?) is
that we have to remember to use it. That takes away some of the
convenience and when it's not actually used it's is another thing to
nick.

To RT & Dave Plowman - I've just looked into getting a door from a
breakers - have been quoted 50 quid for one that's a darker shade of red
(burgundy instead of cherry). Not sure that the colour clash matters,
tho' SWMBO has expressed horror at the mismatch. Would it be any cheaper
I wonder getting that fitted rather than getting the existing door
repaired? Think I'll keep looking.


keep looking :-)

somewhere, there's one out there the right colour, £50 isn't a bad price
