Today i fixed drivers saggy door, thanks to reading up an old thread here about sticking a wheel nut in the door hinge and closing the door, and also, fixed electric sunrood and ABS and airbag lights. Fuse kept blowing at first, and today i found a fuse in my toolbox so i tempted luck, and when i turned ignition it didnt blow, so tried sunroof and it worked!  :cool: just in time for summer too!

On the downside, when i went to adjust door striker i came across two very rounded bolts, so need to somehow remove them rounded bolts and get some new ones from the scrap yard.
