Door Handle Return Spring Problem

LO All

The other day as my brother opened the passenger door on my Lude something broke or fell off the inside of the door handle

It now sticks out about 10mm , so i'm guessing the spring has either broken or come loose somehow

Anyone else had this happen

Door handle still works OK just looks pants

Cheers

There is a hairspring on one (or either!) end of the pivot - they need lubing occasionally.

You'll need to lose the door case & membrane & see if it's come adrift, or broken or something.

my doner lude got this problem I had a look and the srping has slipped off, you can get to it from inside if you take the door card off etc its very tricky though I gave up after 5mins but then i wasent that fussed about it as its fitted to the donor car, good luck

Got my door handle sorted out today , plate behind the handle had broken due to age and wear , the mechanic managed to fix it will a drilled hole and bolt

that now holds the spring.
Only charged me 45 mins labour

Sorted

Cheers all
