Title: Spare wheel door won't open. Post by: utey on October 29, 2008, 05:03:36 PM I can't open the spare wheel door , I made some adjustments so that it looked better and was tighter ( too tight key won't turn)
Fresh paint so don't want to force, plus wooden floor has been siliconed down. Can I drop the tank from the outside? Any ideas???? Nick Title: Re: Spare wheel door won't open.

Just push your spare will door beside the lock and turn the key. Cheers, Tony. Title: Re: Spare wheel door won't open. Post by: utey on November 02, 2008, 08:25:14 PM Thanks for the help.
