Hi
The rear door in my 98. 300TDi has ceased to open because the spring that holds the internal button up has broken. If I wedge it in the up position it works without a problem but unfortunatley the central locking dislodges the wedge and I'm back to the unopening door then.
I believe it is a normal occurance and that there is a replacement part available. Anyone know where I can get it and what it is called and if it works. Would I be better off just relacing the lock.
Hugh
they sell em on fleabay they come in sets or singly . about a £5 inc post Derek
can you please put discovery in the text.. as a 300 TDi is also fitted to the Defender.
Terribly sorry but the Vehicle is a 98 Discovery. I cant find any springs on Fleabay so any other suggestions gratefully received
Thanks
Hugh
If it's got the same locking mechanism as the Disco 1 then it's also the same as the RRC and as it's marked GM on those so I reckon you could probably find one on an old Vauxhall Astra or other in a local scrapyard.

this might just help a list of Disco springs on Ebay
Did mine a couple of years ago, bit fiddly make sure you get the correct spring type for the door. I have some pictures if you want me to send them email me.
