door will only stay shut after many attempts, starting to become a real problem, tried adjusting striker, would I have to replace the mechanism or is there a quick fix ? thanks

most problems start with a dropped door, then a smashed in peg in the door shut.. i've taken the drivers catches out of 2 of my 5's, one was shaggered and the other needed some jiggery pokery to make it line up again.. a bloody good clean and regrease helped...
thanks for info, looks like I will be needing a new mechanism.
any ideas on price for one? probably ring reno dealers up when I get time. still having fun going through passenger side, in and over. joys of ownership
You could try WD40 ing it, let it soak in for a little while and then attempt to open and close the door a couple times. I
If the door has dropped then open it slightly, grab hold of the bottom edge of it and bend the whole door upwards a little
thanks 4 info
I think I spotted a locking mech on ebay yesterday.
Actually it was here

I asked for a price from Renault a few years back and they were £60 each +vat, never got round to doing anything about it, passenger side is now sticking so have to go through the boot now
thanks guys
I am tempted to buy a new one at that price
