Except, happily, not to a sagging chassis. Things in our household do sag, but we won’t go there!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The lock was almost certainly original….pretty knackered. Nothing particular, just a bit sloppy all round. One little crack just beginning. Trouble for the future avoided there.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The striker likewise looked pretty worn and it was a fraction wobbly…..didn’t rotate but could move around a little on its axis. Replaced.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Moving the striker upwards and inwards a little did the trick although one has to give the door a fairly brisk shut. Nothing too serious, but it’s not the nice “thunk” that one gets with, say a Mercedes! I have to admit to not appreciating the two positions ie where the tongue of the lock locates on the striker. Holes in ones knowledge is why one asks the List???<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The PO had lost(?) the tapped plate that goes in the wheel arch and into which the four locating bolts are screwed and replaced them with a weedy piece of steel (biscuit tin?) and nuts with flat and spring washers. Have to admit that this did work but it was a complete pain to deal with. The tapped plate, which I’d been missing all these years, did simplify things. I suppose I’ve got the same arrangement on the other side but will leave that sleeping dog well alone for the while.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Problem solved…fingers crossed.
