My son's 306 is the same - an overenthusiastic door stay I reckon.

That has been replaced with a nut and bolt. It seems to be the cam inside the door, spring a bit too stron I imagine. Someone has likely had the door of and jiggered it.
It isn't a problem, just a bit noisy.

RE 306: The nut and bolt wont fix it, you need a roll pin as they are sprung, but if the holes are worn, it will crack even if you do that and you need a new check, they are pretty cheap from Pug.
