Door Handle Question
« 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?

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.

so turns out the locking ring had came off,

tried to put it on and what a PITA that was!

Now the bit that locks the ring has sheared

so heres my question

could I delock it?

would that be a problem?

or can I buy a replacement ring? if so where from1?!
