   Hi all.
   
   I plan to paint my Saxo within the next few weeks and I'd like to be able to take the doors off to be able to paint them indoors. How do I remove the doors?
   
   Thanks,
   James

   First you need to remove the door check strap, might need to apply a little heat ideally with a small blue flame lighter/soldering iron to help loosen the loctite then it should come off fairly easily with two torx bolts
   
   Then you need to undo the loom, just twist the locking ring and turn it until it is undone and pull the connector apart.
   
   Then get a mate/wooden blocks to help hold the door and you might be able to use a torx key plus some leverage to undo the hinge bolts.
   
   might want to give all the bolts a good dose of wd40 a few hours before you start working to help loosen them up a little bit and obviously if you are heating them up wipe them down first
