Door check arm pin

[moon buggy]

Finally got our VX home today, other than the usual annoying things..headlight seals flapping around in the air showing everyone the wind direction over the car..on the move..I had to pull over and tuck it in under the bonnet till I got home..or risk loosing totally...lovely first trip..anyway..

The pasenger door when it opens, has 3 'levels' of opening and as it goes thru each level it makes a loud creak sound [even after a healthy dose of silicon spray]..observing this movement and the noise I noted that a jirking movement around the pin..looking at the CD manual sect 8 it describes this pin [as above]..is it one piece..as it looks like mine in the door is broken [snapped in half]..the diagram in the manual shows its removal in the diagram ..looks like one should knock it thru with a hammer..it doesn't describe the 'how' tho..am I right in my diagnosis of the 'creaking' problem..if its the pin..are they a common part...as in Australia we have NO manufacturer support at all..would one from say a Rodeo do the job..I could pursue a good wrecker for the bit if thats the case..any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks
