replacing door handles

[beau]

has anyone replaced the door handles? is it easy? are there any hidden bolts etc i might miss? how does the lock swap over?

bought some from fiat- £50 for a pair! but they really need changing.

there is a guide on the site somewhere for this mate, either in the modding or repair guide section.

its relativly easy to do though bot fiddly with the rods, but apart from that quite straight forward

You paid £50 for the pair?! You would have been better off getting some rigid plastic ones off a Marea that was being scrapped.

Anyhow, yes the handles are quite easy to replace (says he who's done 6). Very fiddly but possible to replace quite quickly. More time consuming part is taking the door cards off!

Just make sure all the little pop clips on the inside are in the handle properly, if they are not then after a week or so you will either not be able to open the door or lock it, i am sure you will be fine though. Mike
