Can't believe how quickly we then removed the other pin and spring, and put the whole thing back together again. Car started first go! I drove her straight into the garage as she's been sitting in the driveway since Saturday and she's never been out in the weather that long before.

Now I have a dremel for any other fixes and a whole lot of experience in stripping down the drivers side panels. I had to reverse all of the photos given my baby is a right hand drive, but it was so simple that I am now convinced I will do the rest of the maintenance and repairs the girls need in future.

Our eternal thanks to all on the Forum. and yes Rekcah, it would be great if you or other Forum members were closer, but you wouldn't like our wet weather at the moment!
