my external door handle has decided to fall apart inside but due to limited access could do with taking the handle completely out to repair or replace. any ideas how these handles are removed. cheers

it's the rear door. i managed to get the door to close but it would not lock. i removed the door card and gave the handle a wiggle from the inside and part of it fell off. Embarassed

so i now have to remove it so i can fix or replace it. any help would be appreciated.

sorted it there is a screw in the door near the lock to undo this removes the little part of the handle and allows the handle to be pulled back and released. it's the same on a 307 and citroen c4. there was a bit of metal broke so i drilled it out and put a self tapper in to hold back the return spring pressure. (easy fix) Wink
