Roscommon	Driver door locks itself immediately Hi all, Starting to get used to my new 240 and have managed to unseize both driver and passenger door locks with a few days of wd40 and gentle persuasion. I have however discovered a strange issue where the driver door locks itself immediately once unlocked and the key must be held in the open position while pulling the handle to gain entry. The same goes for exit as the button must be held up before being able to pull the lever to exit. Nothing in the mechanism appear to be seized but there does appear to be a spring missing (part 1304820) when compared to the passenger side which doesn't have the same issue. ksnip_20210722-124944.png DSC_0639.jpg DSC_0665.jpg I have ordered the spring from skandix but I am wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and is replacing the spring all that is needed?
