Driver's door won't open! by Lightpainter

Pulled the door handle and nothing, look what I found.

The hook is made of plastic and had just broken off; I managed to make a temporary repair with the use of a small tie wrap using a clove hitch (I knew my boy scout training would come in handy one day).

Actually, I think the hooks are die cast metal, but still break as easily as plastic it seems.

A replacement should be available from a breakers quite easily. Probably best to get a passenger side one as it will have had less wear.
