Taking the door off...Help reqd please

Trying to remove the door as the bottom hinge has been butchered by the previous owners garage!
I am having trouble with the electrical cable from the body to the door. On a 306 I used to own you were able to unscrew a connector block.
How can I disconnect the cable(s)?
Any tips?
Thanks

I have'nt removed a Xantia door yet but loads of BX's.
I'm afraid to say you have to disconnect all the blocks from the door and tread the wires/blocks through the grommet hole in the door

Just before this work commenced the car was given an MOT.
The wires came out,the door was removed and the hinge ground off from the body. It was then set up rewelded to the "A" pillar.
Door panels replaced.
Total cost including MOT,£15 fuel & welding......£105. A bargain.
