Having the door handle come of my daughters car and a quick internet search it’s clear this is a common problem and being quoted almost £200 by a Fiat to repair I think I will buy a handle and replace myself.
Where is the best place to buy genuine Fiat door handles as there are lots of different vendors and prices?

Has the actual handle broke? Usually the hinge snaps bringing the handle away from the door.
Part is less than £7.00 via Desira on EBay.

Common issue as you say........tutorials on YouTube on how to fix. I’m generally useless at any form of diy on the car but with a bit of patience sorted mine on the Abarth in less than an hour.

E-Bay myself, think it was £30-£40 and it came in a genuine box, got an ex Fiat guy here to fit it; £20.
