Folks,

I've searched and searched using the brickboard search feature, and using EVIL Google and stupid, evil Microsoft and their stupid Bing.

The driver side front door on my red bastardly 1990 240 DL wagon (estate) with M47 II manual transmission refuses to latch closed.

I can slam the door as hard as I could in 20° F weather as we have here in the great white North. I have a can of lithium grease and sprayed into the latch mechanism. The latch had a slightly freer action with the lube. No go to latch closed.

I worked the latch mechanism and it would not catch in the door closes position. The latch remains open, so the front driver side door won't catch closed.

This has happened before in my now very wearisome 29-year Volvo 240 (by proxy, is 41 years of all things Volvo) tenure, yet that was in warm weather and the door latch merely needed some spray.

The only thread that may have something useful:

So what do I do before I dive into the 1997 Volvo 240 Haynes service manual for some delicious misinformation?

And Microsoft Word 2015 (version 15) crashes again. I had no choice in the authoring tool and environment (crappy Windows 8.1), so Microsoft Word crashing has cost me and my client quite some time and money to get a 120-page large SCADA system hardware install guide out and on time. I output the .docx to a .doc and MS Word 2003 handles the file with utter ease. Say no to Microsoft Office 2013 (version 15) and Windows 8.1.

(If crappy Crapple Computer and their i-crap stupid Crapple Computer had a search engine, I'd call them stupid and evil. LibreOffice 4.3.5.x and Microsoft Office 2013 both suck. The drawing layer in LibreOffice still sucks.)

cheers,

Grumpy Technical Writer waiting for the Stupid Fictional Crappy Holidays to be OVER.
