The part of the wheel arch where the doors fits is the same on the Toledo as the Dolomite & the rear doors are identical (exept they appear to be matched to the car at the factory so not every door fits every car - see previous threads on this topic.<br>

I reskined and fitted a new passenger door to my 4 door Toledo and had great problems getting the top of the door window frame to clear the 'B' post. In the end I had to grind off the welds and refix the front of the window frame section. My advice would be to try the doors ASAP before painting etc ...

Have you changed the rotor arm as these seem to have a habit of cracking which causes the a missfire. I had one fail in a simular way a couple of years ago on my Toledo.<br>

Bresco do a very good value pack and the service was very good. Far cheaper than Rimmers and the clips fitted.<br>

I am in the process of replacing 2/3rd's of my top rear screen surround on my Toledo at the moment using a repair section cut off a scrap car. Its a straight forward job. <br>
<br>
I removed the rear screen which popped out easily, ground out the old spot welds to remove the old panel and am now ...

This problem is due to a broken copper strip in the switch unit. I had the same problem on my Toledo and it was possible to solder the crack in the copper strip. If you remove the switch the copper strip is under the stalk if I remember correctly.

Thanks for your reply, that the order I thought they should be in but I was a bit confused by the need for a large washer / spacer under the mounting.<br>

Does anybody know the correct order of the washers on a Dolomite 1300 gearbox rear mounting. Does the very large washer live between the rubber mounting and the subframe ?<br>

I have fitted a fibre glass wing to my Toledo and once it is painted you have to look very closely to see its not metal. I brought one from Smiths & Dekins (Worc) and the fit is OK.<br>

Having replaced both wheel bearings on my Toledo I agree with Dave. Don't try getting them off your self but find a garage / workshop with a hydraulic press. They need a lot of force to release.<br>
<br>
To assist the reassembly process measure the location of the old bearing from the end of the ...

After fitting the Rimmers County head gasket to my toledo and reading this topic I have changed the head gasket to a Payen part (AK260) which is actually a Cooper gasket. The difference in quality between the two gaskets is very noticeable as is the fit. The price for the new gasket was only £11 ...

Do you know what make the head gasket was as I am in the process of changing mine and I have brought a gasket set from Rimmers, but the gaskets do not appear to be as good as quality as previous ones. <br>
<br>
The inlet/exhuast manifold gaskets use to be metalised but the new one seem to be a more ...
