What Does This Part Do?
The door check strap is the mechanical restraint positioned between the vehicle body structure and the door assembly. Its purpose is to control and limit the door's opening movement and provide defined holding positions during normal entry and exit.
A worn check mechanism may produce clicking, cracking, excessive movement or poor door-holding behaviour. Replacing a worn component restores the intended mechanical restraint between the rear door and body.
Physical Mounting Location
Reference illustration only. Compare the actual listing photographs, mounting geometry and stamped identification with the component removed from your vehicle.
Compatibility — Verification Required
The donor information supplied for this component identifies a 2011 Citroën C3 and a LEFT / NEARSIDE REAR mounting position.
The source listing does NOT provide a VIN or manufacturer part number. We therefore do not claim unverified compatibility with additional model years, chassis revisions or facelift variants.

| Citroën C3 | 2011 donor vehicle | Left / Nearside Rear Door | Verify by photographs and stamped identification |
3-Door vs 5-Door — Do Not Guess
5-DOOR BODY
Rear passenger doors are present. This component is listed for a rear door position.
3-DOOR BODY
No separate rear passenger door. Do not order a rear-door component for this configuration.
Will Not Fit / Exclusion List
- Not suitable for the front left door.
- Not suitable for the right rear / offside rear door unless the manufacturer specifically uses an identical interchangeable component.
- Not suitable for vehicles without a separate rear passenger door.
- No compatibility claim is made for other C3 generations or revisions without matching identification.
- No compatibility claim is made for facelift or mid-production revisions unless the physical part and identification match.
- Do not rely solely on automated eBay compatibility or item-specific dropdown information.
Verify Before Ordering
Automotive manufacturers can change components during a production run. Two cars carrying the same model badge and registration year can therefore use different components.
Compare the high-resolution listing photographs, mounting points, physical shape and any stamped/cast identification directly against your existing component before purchasing.
Where exact compatibility is uncertain, contact us through eBay Messages before ordering with your VIN and the identification from the original component.
Why Choose a Factory Used Part?
A quality recycled factory component was engineered for the vehicle's original production specification. Correct mounting geometry, material selection and mechanical operation matter — particularly on components repeatedly subjected to physical load.
Low-cost pattern copies can vary in materials, tolerances, mounting geometry and service life. Choosing a carefully selected used factory component can therefore provide excellent value while retaining the construction originally specified for the vehicle.
Premium recycled components can offer substantial savings compared with purchasing equivalent brand-new replacement parts.
Professional Fitting Available
We also offer a professional fitting service directly at our repair facility, subject to workshop availability. Please contact us through eBay Messages for availability relating to your purchase.
Typical Installation Guide
Recommended tools:
- Appropriate Torx/socket set for the vehicle fasteners
- Ratchet and suitable extensions
- Plastic trim removal tools where required
- Torque wrench
- Suitable work light
- Protective gloves and eye protection
General fitting sequence:
- Park securely on level ground and ensure the rear door is adequately supported.
- Identify the left rear door check mechanism and its body/door attachment points.
- Remove only the trim or access components necessary to reach the mounting hardware.
- Support the door so that uncontrolled movement cannot load the mechanism.
- Remove the appropriate retaining fasteners.
- Withdraw the existing check strap through the appropriate access point.
- Compare the removed component directly with the replacement before installation.
- Install the replacement in the same orientation.
- Tighten fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque.
- Refit removed trim and carefully test the full opening/closing movement.
Typical Labour Estimate
For budgeting purposes, allow approximately 0.5–1.0 labour hour for a straightforward door-check replacement. Actual workshop time can vary with fastener condition, trim access and corrosion.
| Estimated Time | £40/hr | £60/hr | £80/hr | £100/hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 hour | £20 | £30 | £40 | £50 |
| 0.75 hour | £30 | £45 | £60 | £75 |
| 1.0 hour | £40 | £60 | £80 | £100 |
