    Question DIY or send to the pros? - Door handles/central locking/hindges

    hi, i have a Vr Ute, with rattling doors. hinges & handles...
    is there anyway to adjust all these myself? or should i just get them all replaced.
    i was thinking for the handles they might just need new springs..

    Door handles are piss easy to do mate.

    Take off your door trim, cut a slit in the plastic water blocking stuff (it can be patched up later with duct tape), there's a pin you need to slide out from behind the handle which can be tricky to find if you don't know where it is, but it slides horizontally one direction or the other. It can be a bit stiff. After that the handle will become loose from its housing and you can remove it all.

    I'd say get in there and see what's going on with them. It's probably as you said just a loose spring.

    I'll post some pics if you like? I got a few extra door handles laying around
