Leaks & Noises
Did not realise door was frozen solid gave door handle the usual tug to open after unzapping the remote from the key. nothing, so I gave the handle a harder pull only to be left with the door handle in my hand. It dosent look broken just off from it's fixings at either end. How do I refit it ?, I can't see a way into removing the door panels from inside the door either. Currently accessing the car from the passenger side, what a pain! help!

Best bet to get a Haynes workshop manual which usually shows pictures of what is needed to strip down door trim and susequently repair lock . Get them in the likes of Halfords or try local library .

You probably require a new handle as it will be broken.

as long as the 'u ' shape at the front end is intact and the hooked part at the back end is ok you should be able to refit it.
