thanks Stu, but all clean and no paint on them !, I might try a new B post striker plate as the drivers side is hooked out on the back edge where the pin drops (pin could be getting hung up there ?,

I am having trouble with both door catches!, driver side is intermittent to release and the passenger side wont open at all unless you thump the inside until the latch lets go!or you drive the car and it opens part way!, I have had a play with the drivers side this afternoon and adjusted the bolt from the push button so it now in contact with the lever( made no difference to how the latch operates)so still not working correctly,the pin seems to flip over ok!.when the door is open should the latching pin be at the top or bottom when closing the door?. looking at new B post striker plates I have noticed that new ones have a straight internal vertical edge, mine are hooked out at the top of the catch(is this what is holding up the pin? any tips appreciated

Filled the car up with standard BP unleaded with Castrol valve master added when I picked the car up today! its a very low mileage original with 34,000 on the clock!, previous owner said he was running std 95 with castrol valve master this is how he was running the car and it never over ran and prior to him changing the coil (lucas gold sports coil) cap points etc that it ran fine, so he thought the over run was down to timing being out a bit?, probably got room for 4-5 litres of super unleaded to boost octane in the tank, would an octane booster additive help?
-
I have a 2 litre six that over runs once at temperature and you turn the ignition off, is it down to timing ? any other pointers? thanks

Thanks , I will check the tub for lean out on the b posts first, if the door is warped then will try the to straighten first although I am apprehensive about pushing the door back against the b post as the its only metal reinforced as the tub is fibreglass,thanks for the link Bill it might be the way to go Robbie

Hi Gents, Is it possible to straighten a warped door?, the door in question has previously had a patch welded in along the lower skin by the previous owner this has kicked the bottom of the door out a 1/2", reskining not an option as the car is a BOND GT and although uses Herald/Vitesse door frames has unique door skins that are no longer available

Thanks for that bxbodger, yep a little adjustment to said bolt has the door opening again with no issues thanks again Robbie

I wonder if you can help, I am experiencing problems with the release of the door catch, most times you need to push the button really hard or push the handle in as well to get the mechanism to click and release, I have tried backing the door of the sealing rubbers slightly so the door sticks out and less pressure on the lock this has made it a little better, can I assume that the spring is at fault ?and are they available separately? not yet had the door card off or inspected but have lubed from the outside thanks Robbie
