    I've just been quoted £200 to weld in a floor, which I have already bought, and a body mount. I may have to invest in a welder!

    Disco Door springs How-to...

    Thing is I have just realised that the spring wasn't the problem. It's still being a **** to open, requiring the key to finish the job! Bollox! Waste of £2.50.
