Sure will, do not unbolt the hinges! Remove the two circlips, undo the 10mm headed strap bolt lift the door off, then undo the wiring harness.

and a little tip, wind window glass down before taking door off, then much easier to move

and another little tip , put some masking tape on the leading edge of the door ,it's easy to scratch the paint when wrestling with a heavy door , 2 people make it a much easier job.

On a similar note, i need to remove a drivers door because it drops when open if you know what I mean. With it open i can lift the door a few mm. This happend on my TF but it was worn bushes but not sure if the ZT door has same bushes ystem. Is this likly to be the hinge pins?

Yella Fella, My driver's door drops a few millimetres when opened too. The door was replaced a few years ago following an accident while the car was stationary. The body shop have suggested the wear may be due to the hinges not being in proper alignment. I have bought some new hinges from Rimmers which were on special offer and quite cheap. That need painting and can then be fitted.
