Title: Door Handle Question
Post by: Rockey5uk2001 on 23 June 2013, 12:01

So my drivers side handle has been playing up

to sum it up you have to yank it to open it was planning on taking it apart over the next few days to have a poke around

anyone got any suggestions? or ideas?

Thanks pickles

Mine was doing that. That simple guide explains it all. Just make sure you don't undo the torx screw too much other wise it will fall into your door, which you will then have to take apart to get it!

That. The hook thingy will become extremely apparent when you remove the door card.

you can buy either side, just swap the retaining screw into the other thread to change from left to right (L and R on the pic)

I've become an expert in these recently lol
