?30 is excellent value (cost me ?60 for mine last year) for the full kit.

If youve never dont it before and depending on how you do it, it'll prob take you a day (realistically). Experienced and youre looking at a couple of hours tops.

The hardest part is getting the old mechanisms out and fitting the new ones. Its not hard - just a pain in the anus. You need to remove the door trim, then drill out the old mechanism, then install the new mechanism using thick pot rivets that can take the strain (see www.nova-land.co.uk for dtls).

You'll prob need to remove the drivers seat so you can run cables under the floor to the centre console and then you need to drill holes in the door edge and body work edge to run the cables through.

MAJOR ADVICE!!! - if you intend to add central locking in the future or door speakers, I recommend you fit a rubber flex from door to the inner wing on the side of the car - you can use rubber hoses from old style fiestas (similar to the ones on the nova hatch) to run the cables through. Seal the holes with grey stripe. Check the styling forum about a month ago - I posted a full guide on how to do fit the rubber hoses.

cheers guys

i have already got door speakers and where can i get central locking from?

[burgessovsalford]

check forsale forum for central locking.

Also if you have already got speakers in doors have you already got the wires going from door to car, cos u may be able to skip drilling more holes if its been done by sum1 else before???
