Passenger door wont open from outside

[mrgris]

Guys can anyone help please.

My passenger door wont open from the outside and after taking off the door card i saw the metal lug was no longer attached to the bar for the outside door handle

So i cable tied them back together but it still doesnt give enough motion to work the lock mechanism :wall:

Do i need to get a completely new door lock?? worried my car wont pass its MOT with it like this

Glue gun, it happened on mine in the icey weather i got annoyed and forced the door open bending the metal clips, just popped in to place and used a glue gun to secure.

i've tried using a glue gun to solve this but it doesnt help. :wall:

tghe problem is that the majority of the metal clip has sheared off. the door mech now works with zip ties there but the movement is just short of releasing the door latch

anyone have any ideas on solving this problem, been at it work weeks now

[mrgris]

sorry for my spelling *been at it for weeks now* lol
