Sick as a parrot!!
I'm gutted! Thought I would start checking my wifes car over today for MOT, reversing up the ramps can only think that when applying the brake my foot caught the accelerator (auto) and |I jumped the ramps! I jumped out jacked the back up and relieved to see that very minimal damage to sills. came to close drivers door and found that as the car had slewed off ramp the opened door had wedged against my caravan door hinge, no damage to the van but completely wrecked the car door, buckled and twisted can't even close the door.
Please tell me others have had self inflicted occurrences, to help me with my pain! Now got to source a new door which seem to be getting quite rare, her car is a top of the range Rover 25 Mk2 with only 28k so can't write it off. My wife loves her car but bless her when |I showed her what I'd done she put her arms round me and said 'never mind, thank goodness it wasn't your car'. Now that doesn't bear thinking about!

Your wife is very good at getting you to do better. But she understands that you did not do it on purpose. So get your finger out before she changes her mind and does say she will have your car while you get the other one done. Ask on the forum if anyone has got what you want in the wanted section.

Does rear ending an SUV after your foot slips off the brake pedal count? It's what I accidentally did before Xmas.

What colour door are you after? I went to an MG-Rover breaker not far from you, next to a canal, a short distance from Bromsgrove. They had loads of doors, and I asked if they do many 25’s as my dads got 1 and he said they do. I got a complete door, with glass, door card, and central locking mechanism for £20. I only contacted them via Facebook but I can see if I can get a number if you want.

There are no differences between Mk1 and facelift 25 doors, nor 200Mk2 for that matter.
Just get one the same colour if you don't want to paint it Brian |

Getting one in good condition the same colour is my target Brian. There is one being broken in Spennymoor but I hope I can find one a bit nearer.
