Got replacement cam kits for both front doors. I'm intending to do the passenger door first so if I have a problem and don't get the job done then I can still use the car. My query...Will the door still shut and stay shut if I need to drive it? and will it open again when I want to carry on with the job!
My father in law is terminally ill and on occasion I have to take him to hospital at short notice and the 38 is the only car he can get in and out of without too much pain.

Yes and yes. It won't affect the latch so the door will still close and without the exterior handle you'll need to open it by pulling on the rod with a pair of long nosed pliers through the hole in the door or by using the interior handle.

Brilliant!
