I doubt you will get a reply seeing as this is a 13yo thread and the user was banned.
Try wrapping a little electrical tape around the striker. When these cars were new they had a plastic sleeve around the striker, when those eventually fail their is a little play there.
Hi - thanks for this. Thought so - should have made a new post altogether... I did try to wrap some reinforced tape around the striker loop and it seems to be working but I've got to test it for a while as I should have then sprayed it with a bit of Inox (have done that now). So even the VR's had hard plastic around the striker? Grateful for that. I just checked with my local mechanic about the issue and he said that replacing the hinges can be a nightmare with some cars - my laptop is horribly slow so I couldn't look up the process yet but will do asap. OK - so the fellow who made the (helpful) post was banned?
