Title: Door sticking
Post by: terry paget on 21 July 2014, 20:46:30

OE03 EWW 3.2 petrol manual police special saloon
Offside rear door has been sticky for a year or so - hard to open, needs a bit of a yank - and is getting worse. I have tried spraying oil around the lock and fixed pin, but no change. Any ideas?

Give it a good soaking of dw40 or like and work it back and forth   keep doing this till it frees off . Then wipe down dry of a use the right grease for thr hinges.

I am presuming the door doesnt get used

Mine was generally worse after rain/washing the car, and it's the rear doors that stick due to kack of use.

It is definitely not the mechanism though :y
