Our young Springer has just escaped from his cage and bitten off the rear door closing "dongle".

Are they just held on by the screw down the hole,or does the rear door trim need to be removed?:wonder:

Sorry, I could not help but laugh......

TP will have the diagrams of how the assembly works I'm sure.

im afraid its part of the rear hatch..so £1,963 + vat to you..........

ONLY KIDDING NO IDEA PAL

I can relate to this. My cocker spaniel as a puppy had a good knaw at this which is why she is now in a cage when she is in the boot. I just rescued it before she went too far.

You called

As requested one picture from the repair manual. Unfortunately I lost my parts catalogue software got corrupted and the program died

You might be lucky and not have to remove the panel, just the screw itself and tuck the tongue of the new strap through and re-secure.

Best get several

Having had working springers for a large part of my life, I know the feeling! Rubber toys don't have to be beef flavour to be irresistable...ha ha - bless its little heart!

Yeah - and so long as he doesn't swallow these rubber jobbies. They can be a bu99er to remove surgically! The worst I ever had to remove was four golf balls in the one operation from a dog that, somehow, managed to find them somewhere. We operated on him a total of five times for golf ball ingestion, and threatened to implant a zip in his belly to make it easier. The owners hadn't a clue where he was getting them from.

He didn't swallow it,fortunately just bit it off and left a few teeth marks before I found it .I think I'm going to drill through it and bolt it back to gether for now.I'll just have a shorter "dongle".

There's some bitter stuff you can buy to paint your nails to stop nail biting isn't there? I wonder if that might work (Freshacre?). I was always very anxious to stop my dogs chewing anything - they just wouldn't as adults - you don't want working dogs getting hard mouths by chewing dongles. It will be pheasants next! I think I'd remove it altogether and just put a hand on the door, as I tend to do anyway.

That should do the trick. I use "Nail Grow" on finger & thumb when training young Ferrets lol.

I was going to say I wished I could get my dongle chewed ... but perhaps this isn't the right 'forum'?
