Love to hear more on this too .. constantly kackin it that my engine will go and have no idea if it's feasible to think about changin it ...
Good luck and keep us posted Skxawng
Hey Eddie - did you have any luck with this?
My blower's been out of action for about 8 months. I've had a pretty similar experience to you and I'm left thinking that there's some dark magic at work!
Welcome Pete!
That's a fine looking Jumpy - especially for its age!
well ..
i was right - i did need an extra pair of hands to replace the door catch.
good news is that the problem is now solved! it was pretty quick and easy in the end with two people.
door catches perfectly and stays shut.
the even better news is that the previously dodgy handle for the door now works perfectly too.

flaky is a polite way of putting it!
however, looks like this time it really is the door catch. I've had the door skin off and have tried manually moving the rod to activate the catch.
it seems to move fine but nothing seems to make the catch close over and lock the door shut.
so my two sliding doors are currently ratcheted together to keep the driver-side door closed.
meantime - i've ordered a replacement catch from ebay. £9.50.
fingers crossed - hoping it's not too messy a job to replace. actually thinking about it - this is going to need two pairs of hands - i'll report back!
ok, so today I closed my driver-side sliding door, drove off and looked in my mirror only to see the door slide open again.
stopped, pulled over and tried again.
basically the door catch isn't catching so i had to tie the door closed until i got home.
had a quick muck about when home and eventually it DID catch. now afraid to open it again!
anyway - will take a proper look this eve - just wondered if anyone else had had this problem.
spose it could be the catch itself - or maybe the door handle mechanism isn't releasing properly.
will report back ...
thanks for this folks

i have this problem too also on the driver's door
what does the locator and guide look like? is it sort of rectangle?
thanks this is a really annoying problem isn't it!
