Weather is dry, parts are here, no emergency fixes needing doing so time to fix the passebger door.

Replace door lock and replace window mechanism.

Hope it doesn't take too long!

Pretty straightforward jobs. Be careful to completely remove the small metal link between the outer door handle and the latch mechanism. It can be a right PITA if you let it drop.
The Entire window frame is going to have to be moved, if not removed completely to gain access to the latch. I found this guy's description of the job easier than the one in RAVE.

Removed the window mech, it had seized so will keep as a spare.

unbolted the rear runner and let the lock go to bottom, slightly bent door inside to swap them over.

Window works central locking works.

Just need 2 tyres now.
