Is it possible to obtain a new hinge for the door to my Swift Royale 620 ?
The damned thing seized up and I had to break it, but it seems Swift only want me to deal with their approved dealers (and I ain't drivin' miles for that just at the moment).

It's the bottom hinge on the habitation door. The white stuff is Lithium Grease (it didn't work).

Anyone got an idea please?

Hi Swifty-Morgan.

I had the same thing happen to me and ordered the part from the nearest approved dealer (still some way away). They duly posted the hinge to me and I had it fitted by the local guy. No problem, didn't cost much and is still swinging away happily.

It saved me a round trip of 100+ miles too.

If you're handy with the pop rivets (I'm definitely not) you could probably fit the thing yourself.

I had a similar problem with our (former) Autoquest 100 a few years ago. See Link Removed.

I obtained a replacement hinge from Marcle Leisure - see Link Removed. You need to make sure you get the correct hinge and make sure it is LH or RH whatever you need. Give them a ring if necessary, they are very helpful.

Replacement is a matter of drilling out the old pop rivets to remove the existing hinge and then pop riveting the new one in place.

Me again - just found a note that I got mine from Marquis, it's called a five-leaf door hinge and back then (~2006/7) it cost the princely sum of around £4. To date, it's one of only two spare parts I've had to buy for the habitation part of our 14-year-old Bessie in the six years we've had it, the other one was a front top light cover at £2.

Wish I could say the same for the Fiat part, only that hasn't been too bad all things considered.
