Hi Guys....I believe the cable from the interior door handle to the latch has broken on my 2002, TD4, 5 door ES.
Removed the handle shroud and can see that the operating cable is missing from the lever.
Had one go on my P38 some years ago and that was an easy fix. Having a quick look at RAVE it appears that the latch has to be removed in order to open a "Security cover" to enable the "Eye" end of the cable to be attached. Also the pop rivets securing the operating handle need to be drilled out to remove the handle assembly.
Has anyone replaced the cable and found a quicker way to do it ??
Suprisingly, all of the suppliers I called do not carry the cable in stock (LR factory order) but Brit-Car ordered one late yesterday afternoon and I will have it Monday.
For information here are details of the parts that I ordered: (All genuine LR)
Cable (Fits both L.H. & R.H. Front doors) FQZ000110 £11.35
Plastic Clip (On door latch-cable hooks onto it) FYC100520 £0.27
Plastic Clip (Secures cable outer to latch) FYC100560 £0.54
**Prices plus VAT**
Bought the clips just in case one or both of them have broken as I have not removed the door card yet to see exactly what has gone and in view of the low cost, decided to cover all/most eventualities
