Hi can someone help me before I purchase the wrong bits , my passenger door handle keeps coming out ,
So is it just the door handle or is it the hole lot ,door handle and the mechanism in side as well,

They go in at a 4 o'clock sort of position and turn up to the correct position.
From what I can see the tab that lock it have broken off so I would say it's just the handle you need.
Hope you understand what I am saying.

Hi yes that totally clear thanks Paul

You dont need a new handle, what you have to do is remove the door card etc until you can see the back of that broken tab, drill a small hole in the centre get a small screw and washer, screw it in place..Fixed!!.....did on three of my e53 handles.

I did the screw fix but it snapped the plastic within weeks.
Fitting a new handle is easier than putting the screw in lol.

Thanks for that info, I did think about that as the wife is a bit heavy handed
