As the title says I need a replacement as the other half has kindly pulled mine off and broke the white plastic section that fits to the metal rod mechanism. The bolt mounts that hold it to the door are also cracked and I doubt I could glue it all back on.

Gorrilla Glue... Great stuff... fixed the Yellow ZS's door handle when this happened :)

I'm not sure that it would hold the fixing bolts on the door handle...

It did on mine :) and it was the front passenger door handle that broke then... - Oh and a thought... I put two small cable ties around the bolts and glued those at the same time...

No, the Tesco Extra in Havant is where I found it...

Shall I just glue the old handle to the door plate and wait for a TB replacement to come up?

Personally I'd glue the nuts back onto the handle, and cable tie them as well so its more or less secure, then screw it back into place so its an easy unscrew and refit the new one job... while still being fairly secure :)

I've used this stuff before and it's great. Sorted out my cracked heatshield and have had no bother since.

Does anyone have a rear offside door handle or even just the white plastic parts / spring?

If you manage to get the white plastic clip and use the metal set you won't need a door handle mate, that stuff can be drilled and tapped it's so strong. Are there no breakers near you with a 400? Maybe the same part is fitted to other Rovers, I'm sure others on here would know.

What about ibrox hunk, he's breaking a ZS at the moment, look in the parts for sale section.
