I don't have a radio in Marge at the moment, so took a VHF portable with
me on the front seat yesterday afternoon for the Archers (crucial). I

acceleration. Only seems to do it in forward gears?
I presume a seal has gone, if not worse?

Can somebody advise me on how to remove the tailgate plastic interior door
