Sliding Door Problem

[Guest dld]

Long time reader, blah blah :(

 

I have an 05 Berlingo Forte, love it to bits (and will probably drive it to bits as well). I wondered if anyone had experienced problems with the sliding door? The near side door used to stick ocassionally whilst opening, and a few weeks ago when opening there was an ominous clunk. The door only opens from the inside now, the outside handle is flappy.

 

I suspect either a cable has come off the end of the handle, but don't know if this is something my mechanic friend can sort out quickly, or if it's a take the whole door off job.

 

Any suggestions?

Happened to me, too. Luckily for me, it was within warrantee, so the dealer fixed it. It was a plastic clip on the inside of the door handle that had broken. I don't think it's a big or expensive job.

the pin/spindle that goes through the outer door handle snap's.

I have the broken pin/spindle problem, it is made of a cast material and is quite a fancy shape,

 

does anyone know if this part can be purchased seperately a part number would be great. I am in France at the moment and am being offered only a complete handle assembly, mega money!!

 

Thanks
