Has anyone had any experience of replacing a front lock barrel on a Roomster I ? Is it necessary to remove the door card ?

There are exhaust flexi sections available on Ebay for £20-25. How easy, or otherwise, is it to replace this section?

Thanks for the replies on this. It did take many attempts to get the bulb holder out. What eventually did it was the use of the thumb hook (I think it is for wheel trim removal) that is included in the kit with the spare wheel. Once I got a purchase on the bulb holder with the hook, the bulb holder could be pulled out. The bulb holder is just an interference (push) fit in the frame of the headlamp. Pushing the bulb holder back in was straightforward. Why bulb removal and replacement on modern cars should be so difficult I don't know.

I have seen a complete assembly driver's door for sale on Ebay for reasonable money. I was wondering how much work it is to replace a complete door as an assembly, that is with hopefully the window working etc. I replaced a door years ago (with a complete door from a scrapper) and it was a doddle (before cars had electric everything). Also, how heavy is a modern complete door assembly? I notice some sellers appear to offer click and collect, may be too heavy though to pick up? Roomster 1.2 2008.

Thanks. Well it has probably been there a long time. I'll have another go. I did get a reasonable purchase on it by hand (fingers) but didn't want to pull too hard in case it was twist and pull.

I have seen some earlier posts on this forum re this subject. It's not clear to me though how the bulb holder is removed. Is it simply pull it out, or is it twist (e.g. half a turn) and pull? As stated elsewhere on the forum the holder is down a tube which makes it difficult to get at. I reached the bulb holder and tried pulling but it didn't move. A diagram/picture of the holder and how it is located would be useful, if anyone has one. And/or confirmation of how the bulb holder is held (is it necessary to twist it).
