Good information about the vacuum pipes Bud, thank you.
The piece missing from the passenger rear door is a plastic quadrant that connects the pop-up bar (the part that goes up and down), to the bar that connects to the door lock mechanism. I have the bar and knob btw.
I spent most of this afternoon removing and degreasing the locks, then spraying some white grease on them. I couldn't see any way of dismantling the lock switches, but spraying some contact cleaner into them seems to have helped. I also had to solder a wire onto the passenger rear locking solenoid.
However now I have functioning central locking. I think I will need new lock switches sometime, but I can put the trim back on the doors now.
Next job is fitting the windshield trim, I want to take it to a show next Sunday. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to show.
Roger.
