Back door catch was staying in after opening the door; putting the handle up forced it out (5-point locking). Stripped and cleaned it, operated it on the bench whilst looking all over it and spotted a grub screw by the latch part of the mechanism. It was just getatable in one position, tried it and it was a couple of turns undone and rubbing against the mech. Free after tightening. Those mechs. are complex and all rivetted together, so if the screw had dropped out...! £50-odd quid down. Sorry - should have put OT. Seems pretty on topic to me. I'd probably have added some loctite too. |
