Nuevo door stay - BEWARE
The door stay on our Lancashire suddenly failed, letting the door swing wide open. What had happened was that the allen key headed bolt that secures the stay to the door frame had unscrewed itself and dropped out,. We were lucky and found it on the floor togegher with the nylon spacer. Although I replaced it and tightened it fell out agin 3 days latef. Now replaced with a bit of silicone sealant on the thread as I have no Loctite in Andalucia!
Do check yours and put a spot of Loctite on ot to avoid problems.
Our door is a Hartal.

Re: Nuevo door stay - BEWARE
The screw was loose again this morning - took about a quarter turn, so silicone sealant is no substitute for Loctite. I guess that 40C might be causing some expansion of the threads in the frame anyway.
Weather is great in Seville at camping Villsom - but not ACSI Card site.
