Thanks in advance

It is not a difficult job as long as you have a pin puller and you take care.

Hi
    Just remember when you come to to put the doors back you may find you will have to reset the SRS system, side air bags in other words, i only know that this can be done by tech 2, may be wrong and if the light is on the dash this will be an mot failure from this year onwards.    :y

This can be avoided by leaving the ignition off while the doors are off. :y
