Drivers door wont close after I heard a metallic ping/tink noise when opening the door, the "keeper" which sits at the bottom of the door catch is loose so I'm thinking the spring has broken which would normally keep it up. Would I be right in thinking the catch assembly is pressed and riveted together and so replacing just the spring isn't possible?
New catch assembly required????
I had this problem with my coupe a few years ago - I found they get water ingress and then the water freezes inside the lock mechanism and jambs it up.
Probably caused by idiots pouring hot water on the locks & latches when they are frozen
Clean out, re-grease & all good since

Ok cheers but weather was mild when it happened........will take on board though and grease the others.
A wee update, removed the assembly and fitted a new spring as per Andy's picture.
Seems to be working for now?!
I've lubed all the others with "chain lube"......you can get the straw into the gaps in the casing and this stuff froths up before settling on what it's around so ideal for this.
