99 1.3 Driver's door won't fully open - Jvb
This is a bit of an odd one, but I am unable to fully open the drivers door. It opens sufficiently to be able to get in and out of but nonetheless it won't fully open - any suggestions as to what's wrong,

I would suspect the check strap has siezed up or broken. If you can get the door open far enough to undo the two torx bolts securing the strap to the frame you should then be able to fully open the door and remove the strap from the door and replace it.
