    Default Broken Drivers Door Handle

    Hey guys,

    Ok, tried to get in the car today only to hear a click and now the door handle is broken, guessing the connection between the handle and mechanism is gone. Wondering if they are easy to replace myself, as I don't really want to fork out heaps of coin to get it fixed since I have heard stupid quotes that my mates got of hundreds of bucks- would rather just open it from the passenger side.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike.

    I've replaced the speakers before, that's about the extent of my interaction with the inside of the door. Anything I need bear in mind given it's the drivers lock, electrics wise?
