If you find that its the plastic internal spring seat that has broken then look at my reply to a post from 13/9/2010 it tries to explain the travails I had . Watch out when you lift the switch plate on the door pull. I had to resort to Araldite :-( but its still holding ok and the spring "mod" I did has been a success .

I bought a trim removal multitool thing from Halfords today and popped the door card off, starting from the bottom.

As expected the silly plastic clip thing was broken - really that would be underspecced for a toy gun in poundland - so I took the door handle out of the card and used Araldite to stick the parts back together and some of the putty stuff B&Q sell to mould around it.

It seems pretty solid now, hopefully it'll last for a while.

Got the whole thing refitted in no time.

Thanks again to everyone for your encouragment and ideas once again.

exactly what I thought Brian,I've seen toys out of xmas crackers built more solidly./Still I suppose u get what u pay for.The Croma is cheap!

If you take some of the tension off the spring it stops it snapping back shut like the cash drawer on Arkwrights till . Its this that breaks the plastic on the handle.
