Hi everyone
I am fresh and happy owner of Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 8v, when I bought it door handle didn't work from inside (drivers side) but it works from outside so I read a bit here how to repair it and when I opened door card today I have noticed that plastic 'nipple' that holds door latch cae to the door handle is broken, I was wondering if there is anyway to get a new one. I have spend hours on finding any solution, my MOT is coming up soon and I was told that without working doors it won't pass.

Sadly, Fiat do not seem to list this as a separate item, presumably expecting us to buy a complete latch and cable.
Have a look at this page: http://www.bresco.com/acatalog/Control_Cable__Rod_Clips_-_Metal_and_Plastic.html
Measure the diameter of the cable end, hopefully there will be one to fit. Measure the hole size too. This one might be good. http://www.bresco.com/acatalog/Link...od.-General-application.-LIC0030P.html#SID=20

Or this might work: http://www.vehicleclips.co.uk/vw-do...lips-for-front-rear-doors-on-some-models.html
But you might need to email them with the cable end size and ask if it will fit. I see the first page I gave also has the VW ones, at the bottom of the page.

I just stuck a search into Google. https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=car+door+lock+linkage+clips
Have a browse. And good luck.

Thank you so much, this helps a lot. At the moment I have managed to repair it temporarily with some cable ties :D
