Internal Door Handle

[BerndRos]

My drivers side internal door handle is not working although I can open the door by lowering the window and using the external handle.

Any thoughts ?

An easy repair ?

Thanks

Weld it up, pretend its a race car..

This happened to me a couple of years ago. In my case, a piece of the internal door handle which connects a metal rod behind the door card to operate the lock, sheered off. Despite an attempt to repair the sheered part, it didn't hold so I needed a replacement door card.Guess how much that cost? No, treble that estimate!!!
By the way, I was told that a broken door lock qualifies for an MOT fail, so no use pretending you have a racing car!

Thanks for all that.

I am surprised that something that's so expensive to replace is not more durable.

In 42 years of driving this is the first time a door handle has broken. Should they not last the life of the vehicle.

In Motorsport terms arguably it would be a class A part. You should always be able to get out...!
