To remove the lock/cover.
In lins witht he door handle on the edge of the door is a plastic grommet. Remove this and with a T25 torx screwdriver release the clamp holding the lock/cover in place. Turn the srew anticlockwise slowly and keep trying the lock/cover until it comes out. I say go slowly because if you go too far the clamp can fall into the door meaning a full strip down to retrieve it (and the Leon door panel is a pig of a job to remove)
To remove the handle, one the lock/cover is out, release a black plastic clip with a wire in it (this is what operates the latch mechanism) slide the handle backwards and lift out of the door by twisting it forwards.

Ok, thank you very much! I'll get back and ask more with a picture if I do not get it.
Or with a picture when it´s done http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1015107&postid=9506802#9506802
Have a look at this from instruction 17 to 23. It's for the Mk4 golf but is exactly the same as the Leon.
