Hi,

 

Previously, I had an issue with the door loom where the car was going crazy and trying to start itself, so I bought a loom repair kit and soldered new wires onto the loom. Today, after a spate of heavy rain the car is back to it's old tricks only this time after pulling the driver's door connector out, the car carries on misbehaving. I noticed on the loom side that a couple of the terminals are corroded, so water has got in there. How easy is it to get to from the car side?

Not sure how similar or different a mk2 is from a mk1, but on a mk1, taking the whole door off is surprisingly easy (unplug wiring connectors, undo door check-strap by single bolt on door, remove two 13mm nuts from hinges, lift off).

This gives excellent access to the area from outside.  Also on the mk1, there is enough slack in the loom to pull that cluster of connectors out far enough to get the individual ones out from the frame.

Looks quite similar to the MK2.
