For some reason there is no door lock on the drivers side - only one on the passenger side. Have to slide over each time I get in.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum mate, commercial vehicles and standards did not have a drivers door lock for some stupid bloody reason .......

Buggered if I could find that paint code iin the lists...but Im old and blind and stoopid.
