    Default VR Berlina. Needing help fixing door handle, window & handbrake.

    Hi all.
    I just bought myself a VR Berlina.. without a RWC.. and now I've got til July 21st to get it on the road.. But for $1500, I can't really complain.

    Anyway, when I bought the car the passenger door handle was broken. My dad tried to fix it today and it just fell out.. I've bought a new handle from CommWreck but I've got no clue how to put the handle back into the door. I did a search to see if there was a tutorial or anything on removing/installing door handles and came up with nothing.
    Could someone please explain how to put the door handle in and connect it back up to the central locking? **My central locking is not working at the moment either, possibly due to broken handle?

    My driver's side window is also broken.. Possibly come off the rails.. The guy I bought the car off said he thinks one of the scissor arms has fallen down.. Any idea on how to fix?

    Also, my handbrake button is really hard to push in.. and once I've pushed it in it's really hard to get out. Any ideas?

    One more thing, what is the easiest way to degrease an engine? Mine is kinda all dirty and wet on the bottom end..

    **What condition do wheels have to be in to be RWC? My spare is buckled and one of my rims has a dint in the side..
    **Major help if anyone is selling 15's with RWC tyres cheap..

    I know there's a lot there.. Hope someone can help me out..
    Thanks!

    First thing I noticed, wasn't July 21st yesterday??

    Not to sure about the door handle, but to check the window, just take the door trim off and have a look in behind. You will quickly be able to see what the problem is.
    And most likely, your wheels will not pass. The one with the dint might depending on how bad it is, but the spare one pass.

    There is a side clip that should slide one way from the handle that is held in by the surround. Use some long nose pliers and with a bit of effort it will slide and come off.

    As to the window check the channels on the bottom of the window...are the arms in there?

    Do you hear any noises from the passenger door when trying the electric window or central locking? If not, it could be electrical.

    Sorry, meant 31st lol..
    How do I actually put the handle in? There is just a hole there at the moment.. Coz the other one fell out.
    I can hear it trying to open.. but nothing happens..
