N Boer maak n plan.......... Go ask Google translate to turn it into Afrikaans.
Bolstered by the knowledge I had and multiple replies overnight, I went to the garage this morning to sort out this door latch issue.
Firstly found a 3" bit of kindling, pushed it into the hole from outside, added Ductape to keep in position, then added a steel spatula with a bit more Ductape....... Then went around the other side and climbed into the cab.
Onto my backside, foot against the door right over the lock and latch, 2" run up and firm thrust and it popped open.
Next job is to strip down door and remove all the hardware that has to be built into the grey replacement shell.
But coffee and biccies first, then back down there.
Got a garage 3/4 day as Nicola is with a friend in need today.
Woooohooo !!
