There are 4, one on each suspension. Front upper A-arm, rear at the end of the suspension axle (just behind the small cover). If you haven't already pick up a Haynes Metro manual from Ebay. Here's a brand new one for 1p:

Just forgot, the Corby doorhinges are notorious for wear causing the doors to sag. Later versions from GTM have grease nipples.

Door hinges on the Midas......
Im thinking of taking the pins out and putting a turned steel pin in retained with an r clip and washer so I can take the doors off easier (for working in those shitty under dash areas)....plus you can grease the pins too....or go commando in the summer

Just the door hinges as mentioned above, assuming yours has nipples fitted.
