Driver handle won't open

Post by kellyleekyle » Mon May 05, 2014 12:06 pm

Hi guys

My driver door won't open from the outside, I bought the part with the cable attached to take to a mechanic, but am now wondering if it's an easy enough job to do myself, we'll other half  ;) is it to complicated to try yourself?

the Door Handle fix is in the How to Section. Looks fairly straightforward.

Had a go, few issues like the lock barrel wouldn't line up with the new part, took hours to do just that bit, then the centr locking didn't work on driver door, sorted that now though , so all fixed
