Noticed the drivers door handle surround (outside) is loose and wobbly.

I guess i'll have to take the door trim off to fix it? I hate door trims at the best of times. Is it easy or difficult on ours. Any info will be kept strictly confidential.

Cheers, 66yo :rant::O

door trims are easy as pie after the first time.

They're even easier the second time around as most of your clips have been broken so the door trim should come off easily... he he he.

I removed mine once a few months back and took photos of the whole process so I could post it up in the DIY section...but I havent yet as I only learnt how to post a picture a few weeks back.

so I''m not much help to you.

thats soo true, who the hell decided plastic clips were a good idea when after a few years they go brittle as shit and just smash when u try and remove them :)

obviously doors trims were decided over a working lunch with a few warm sakes

Did you know that wind up windows for the BMC Mini were designed in Australia, in the canteen, at lunch time. : :):laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::nuke::nuke:

I fixed it proply this time. It was easier the second time around.

There are TWO nuts to tighten. One you can get to with a ring spanner, the other with a long extension socket. Both 10mm. Also you need a good torch to see inside. :D:kiss:

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
