Door stay (or rather it doesn't)
My passenger door seems to have lost its 'click' postion, when fully opened.
I had this attended to at the first service, but alas it seems to have gone out again Confused
When opened, the door will not stay open and keeps drifting back closed.....f'ing annoying.
Does anyone know how to adjust these jobbies, rather do it myself than lose my car for a day at the dealer!
Cheers anyone?

I'd be interested in a home fix for this problem too. I agree not worth losing the 110 for a day as well as all the associated hassle involved.

Cheers all.

Try tightening the bolts that are next to the door seal. It worked on mine.

There has been previous posts regarding this problem.

cool........

was the bolt just loose, or does it shift any anyway to make an adjustment?
i.e. like a cabinet hinge.........i just don't know Embarassed

i looked earlier on this afternoon from one door to another, and noted that a small part in the hinge does move outwards and back in for a short while, i presume inducing the 'click' Shocked
