DB9 door handle

[Simpo Two]

2007. Although the car has only done 20K miles, over the last year the driver's door handle has become notably wobbly in the up/down plane. I had hoped that a tweak or a small bash with a hammer could fix it, but my garage man reckons it needs a new unit because the plastic is worn.

Is there known fix? If it needs a new handle I can live with it as is.

There is a metal pin that the door handle swivels on - so either your handle has suddenly worn an oval hole where the round hole was or more likely that the pin has dropped slightly and is only supported at the bottom instead of the top - easy fix, door card off, window up, push pin back into place and make sure it's locked in.

If it is the handle there are some on ebay - but would probably need painting

On the door handle theme (and without trying to high-jack OPs thread.. ) my drivers door handle has stopped springing back when opened.... easy fix? I haven't had a proper look yet but can the (I presume small spring) be readily replaced without too much dismantling?

Thanks - that agrees with my understanding of it - have passed it on
