Door Handle

[dboden]

Hi every1... am new to all this.
Basic question for you all.
My interior door handle has snapped clean off my 2001 Ibiza.
(Have to open the door by lowering the window and use exterior handle!)

1. Is there a cheaper place to buy one other than the dealer?

2. Do I have to take the whole interior door panel off to fit it?

3. If so, how do you take the interior door panel off?

Any help/advice appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Don't think you have to take off the whole interior panel. If it's the same as the 1.4 all you have to do is pull off the "pulling handle" (rubbish discription) and then there are a couple of screws under that (if I remember correctly this is).

Don't know where to get one cheaply. Try a scrap yard, I know ebay has alot of 1.4s that are be being broken (handle must be the same surely...)
