Daewoo Matiz door exploration
David Jenkins - 24/10/06 at 03:45 PM

Has anyone here tried taking the front passenger door inner lining off a Daewoo Matiz?

My wife's car has got a "lazy" electric lock on the passenger side, so I need to get in and check it out - probably needs some lubrication, or similar.

Can't imagine that it's too complicated, but I like to know if there are any special tricks or techniques before I start.

Ta,
David

Absolutely true! We call turning the air-con off "turbo boost" when driving up a hill...

Not this one - it's got the posh (ahem) electric jobbies.
In theory that should make it easier...

Do you get Air-con oversteer?

The way the body rolls, you wouldn't notice...

My dads Subaru does, until you get on boost, then it flies either way!
