henry.0112 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi everyone, both my doors make a clunking noise when opening and closing. I was wondering if this was the door check strap or if anyone else has had the same problem and it turned out to be something else. Cheers Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 You can buy improved metal bushings that you have to push into the door using something like a set of pliers or a g-clamp. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DEDEURE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A33WVAKC33C4TM Here's the bush in question. You can get them cheaper. The company selling them have clearly started cashing on the fact Lupo drivers are buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think I shall buy a couple of these if the engineering place next door doesnt stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 make sure they are greased up, they can go noisy when dry, they could of course be worn but i fitted new straps to mine without greasing (learning point,lol)and they went noisey very quickly, greased them up and now all ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 So do these bushes go inside the door where the strap bolts to the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Where the old top hat bush used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlipFlops Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Both doors on mine are shagged, probably well past repairing. The passenger doors bangs really really loud when you open it, it bangs 3 times until its open enough to get out. The drivers side bangs twice. The cars a mess so i think it adds to the crapness of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
