I noticed at the weekend that the battery access door on my Tuscan seemed to be open and fouling the passenger side front wheel. I haven't had a proper go at closing it yet, but does anyone know how it closes (I assume that I won't be able to see much without taking the wheel off and I don't have a jack at the moment to do so) so that I can feel for the catches etc. If anyone has a photo, that would be ideal!

Dont have any pics but it is held on with 2 bolts at the top (8mm spanner from memory) and a cable tie around the chassis rail at the bottom. You dont need to take the wheel off but it is easier, Full left hand lock works best. the bolts are a bit fiddly but it can be done.

I had a better look today and found that both bolts/screws are missing and the door is just hanging open. Anyone know what size the screws should be so that i can get some replacements?

They may vary as they are m6 x 20 on mine & on previous Mk1 Tuscan they were self tappers.

Thanks for all the help!

Managed to get it fixed this morning. Bugger of a job without taking the wheel off. Note to self: get a trolley jack.

For the record, a couple of M6 200m screws did the job.
