Actually, thinking about it, whilst searching on this subject here, did I see that it's best to disconnect the battery....something to do with airbags. I never knew there were airbags in the doors, or does this reference the airbag in the steering wheel.

That's for your front doors, there are pressure sensors in them for the seat airbags. None in the back

Are the airbags fitted to later models. I have just had a look at the front door that is going on after a strap repair, and I can't see any airbag in it. Apart from the small access areas for handle, window, etc, it is all sheet metal. I think my Estate (2000 Wreg 2.5 Elite Estate) door is the same, if I remember correctly

Update....ah...sorry Andy, I misread...the bag is in the seat

Seat air bags are from MFL onwards

I changed a rear door on mine at the weekend & it was fairly easy but I had my son helping, I don't think it would be practical without two pairs of hands.
The only problem I came across was missing wiring in the new door for the tweeter speaker, just meant using the wiring harness out of the old door.

A BIG thankyou to all who subscribed to this thread..
I have to say, that RobG's post about shutting the door to remove the pins is first class. Did the whole job myself, with only swmbo replacing the pins as I lined the door up, and again, with it closed, popping in the pins was a doddle.
One point, and I assume this will apply to all models....Mole grips are great for the top pin, but could not use them on the lower pin, due to lack of space. Luckily I had a pair of those grips with the holes in that you adjust them with. Worked a treat

Thanks again, lads
