A few expletives were articulated in the course of said job, mainly to do with:
1) Fitting the handles/door catch which was a ruddy pain in the nether regions.
2) Fitting the window mechanism, which was a double pain in the nether regions & resulted in the majority of the expletives!

I know I'd done this before but I always forget how I done it so it's like a learning experience all over again. I'd built up the door catch and handle then realised the little snap on bit for the handle rod was not on and this resulted in having to take all the lock out again, plus various other bits that were just a sod to get in place.
When installing the window mechanism I had the little adjustable metal guide bit the wrong way round, from a cursory glance it looks like the stepped section goes on the inner side, but it doesn't it goes on the outer, if the you put it on the wrong way the arm stretches out and hits the end before the scissor thing has got to it's maximun travel and it then jams - or pops of - resulting in a bent arm as well - guess what happened to mine! Easily enough to straighten it though, pop the little plastic carriage back on it and turn the guide around.
Actually getting the window in was another challenge but there you go, all done now. Only thing left to do is put the mirror inside cover on, clean the paw marks off the window, put the outer trim on and I think I need to adjust the B pillar catch in a little bit as the door is sitting ever so slightly proud.
