swaping front door handles?

[Deefadog]

Can i swap my passenger front door handle for my drivers one and still use the lock, i think you have to pop out the pin and swap the levers on them, is this right?

[Mr Blue]

Someone pass me a large hammer. Ill fix it deffa

yeh you might need to swap them over by taking the pin out

[Deefadog]

so it can be done then?

Will the lock have to be swapped also?

[Mr Blue]

think your ok with th lock. undo the screw on the barrel and swap the mechanism over if needed

why u swapping?

[Deefadog]

Cheers,

the actual bit with the thread hole has actually snapped, so my handle is falling out

I have the chinese handles to fit, but these are a bugger and i need to fiddle about with them alot to get them right! And of course  my central locking has packed up from the alarm! perfect

I got my C0 set right and fitted the weighted hift rod (big, big fifference)!

[Deefadog]

Managed to swap them over Bit of a bugger, battering those split pins out, but it worked

[Mr Blue]

btw whats the shift rod like? is it a tight gear change?

[Deefadog]

It's a bit like power steering but for the gear change! 

Just do it! Best thing i have done -  i don't get the second gear crunch an i can select first, first time everytime now with this on, much smoother also!

Hey Deefa, had to ask as i had heard about the weighted shift rod....  Which one did you get? Sounds exactly what i need! Don't get me wrong my gear shift isn't bad but it just feels a bit light and as though i have to put it into each gear rather than just letting it flow..

Now i have been told that i need a special Mk2 one, someone said the Mk3 standard one will sort it......  Would it be rude to ask what part was it and where did you get it?

[Deefadog]

No rude at all 

Part No: 1HO 711 183

Price: £12.78

Yes it does just flow better, and that part is off the MK3 - but fits perfect!

Hope that helps
