Unable to send you a private message because your inbox is full. I wanted to send you more info and the vendor's email address. I'm advised the location is 17 -Charente Maritime (I don't know the rest)

PM me when you've cleared some space so I can send to you

I alternate between Devon & Haute-Pyrennes - often drive down in my 2.5 tourer but at the moment my ZT-T 190 (Monogram Twilight) is semi-permanently at my French home just outside Trie Sur Baise (about 40 minutes from Tarbes). Comes back to the UK for MOT as it is on UK plates until (if ever) I retire to France permanently.

Not too far. My in-law are living at Auch (46km).
And my maternal English line has its roots in Dorset!

Similar story. Travel to Teignmouth in May each year with my wife's car as it has UK plates.

We have managed the retirement in France though.--

How many in Normandie? However, I do have a problem. The passenger door lock has jammed! How in blazes do I get the door panel off?

If you look in the---How-To----section of the forum you will find the information you need there.

I'm on the Normandy/Brittany/Mayenne border - and have had to remove door panels a few times

............... but it's a hell of a long way for you to travel for what is a relatively simple job. Chances are that you'll break a few clips when you remove the card, so you might want to order a few from ebay before you remove the card.
