are the doors always a pain to shut fully or is it me being to gentle?

Hi , had same problem with the bonnet. Seemed as i pulled the release handle nothing happened .  Eventually the handle broke. I then pulled the cable with plyers and the bonnet opened, now been like it for past year . Regarding the doors i think to gentle.

hey jon
doors are a pain to shut because of the side skirts they probably could do with a trim if they are catching and the bonnet will open just let the engine bay cool down the cable stretches when its hot it\'ll open when it\'s cooled down could prob do with being changed for a new one or see if you can shorten the one thats on it?
