Huge,

They are changed from the outside , no need to take the doors apart. You have to remove the small square bit of the handle, then pull the handle back towards the rear of your truck, and then pull out. The original door handle will snap when you pull it out , reverse the process to fit the new ones. You have to remove the small grub screw on the front passenger side to get then doe off, due to the key entry .
Hope this helps

The door handles don't break !! It's the small plastic lock covers that break

Sorry to ressurect this thread but some scrote decided to try and break into my D3 by pulling the door handle almost off the car. Clearly too stupid to realise the lock disconnects the handle from the mechanism......

Does anyone have a part number for left rear external door handle as I can't find anyone stocking such a thing? Thanks.
