Door Handle Won't Open

[bensewell]

My 02 Alhambra passenger front door won't open. Yje handle pulls buy looks light something has bust so its not opening the door proper.

 

Anyone selling one ? Assume I can swap locks over and pick a galaxy, sharan or alhambra door handle ??

Theres an adjustment screw for the opening mechanism in the side of the door if its the outer handle, it may be that its come loose? (can you open the door from inside?)

 

The lock barrel is easy to remove if you have the key for it to swap to another once you have the handle

Thanks for this I'll have a look / take the door card off.  Its been playing up recently so something has broke I reckon.  I can open it from inside easy enough.

You might be lucky and find that bolt has come undone, it could be that the plastic on the outer handle has broken. Once you have the door card off its not too hard to open it up further - drop the catch mechanism down and then the door handle will come out once you take the bolt out of the end of it, Theres 3 bolts holding the catch in place (i think from memory they are t25 heads on them)
