[Zedlen]

My cars getting a road worthy soon and I need to replace a rear tail light and lock and latch on the drivers side door. 98 Exc Vt. Any help ?

I have two Series 1 Tail lights if you want to buy them off me. Already packed and ready to post. Chasing $80 plus postage for both.

Help with what? Installation, sourcing??

[Zedlen]

I changed the tail light thanks anyway.

How do I take out the latch on the door ? Where do I begin ?
Then installation.

Thanks in adavance

the latch? as in the handle or the prt that clicks into the body?>

[Zedlen]

The lock itself works but the handle won't open the door.

you have to take the door skin off and remove the handle from the inside. Depending how bad it is, you might be able to modify it to get it working. If not, you'll be able to pick one up second hand cheap enough and fit it.

Thanks, how hard is it to take the door skin off ?

easy

you will see screws right round the outter edge of your trim (i say trim not skin)

start by unscrewing those,

then you need to pop out the little orange lug on your door lock/button,
use a pocket knife or something similar, & carefully pop it off

remove the button then you will see a screw in the plastic section behind where the button sits

*could be a screw around the inner handle, cant remember*

thats all there is to it trim should come off

Thanks sixx,

Does anyone know how to change handle or have any links to a site with instructions, I don't want to mess with central locking without knowing what I'm doing ?

Or if not replace it, how it can be fixed ? its only the lever itself that wont open the door.
