is it in a VN/VP?
once you have the door trim of, and can see the back of the door handle you'll see a metal clip running through the center of the handle 100mm by like 10mm. get a flat head screw driver in there, there'll be a litle gap at the front of the clip and push it foward (towards the door hindge easies way to discribe direction). once thats gone the actual handle that you lift should push in the pull it up from inside the door. the rest should pull awaw from the door. when putting it back together i've foulnd putting the plastic gaskit in the door first then pushing the door handle suround into is the easiest way, you have to make sure it sits flush tho or else the rest wont go in. the rest in just the oposite way to putting it in. the front door can be a bit fiddley with centeral locking wire and that, but really quiet easy after a while.
hope i helped...

Horrible damn things... I got mine off with a bent piece of wire and a lawn mower blade lol. Funnily enough it takes less than 5 seconds with a door handle remover...

Sweet, I'll give that a go this coming weekend. Have to remove the broken key inside the lock - that is the reason i want to take it off to have a good look and take it to locksmith for him to take it out.
Cheers & thanks

Can we get pictures?
I dont want to pull apart my virgin doors to stuff something up.
I also want to change the locks on all the doors aswell as each door and boot has a different key now.

Sweet, had "practice" at the wreckers today, wasn't that hard really, planning to get a set of keys & locks from another wagon at the wreckers - reason is why - that 2 locks on my VN are shot - suspected that there is either broken key in the lock or some kids filled up the locks (previous owners had 3 kids below 5 yr old - was a family car) Next job is the ignition barrel! *sigh* because I wanna have a key that can operate all locks on the car.
