Well got up at 6.30am and hit the road to Kev's house in East Kilbride (near Glasgow), took me about 2 hours, and a 200 mile roundtrip but it was worth it!

On the agenda were my god awfull door handles! So several hours of hard work we had changed them all :D

I replaced them with matt black set from a Rover 400 but kept my ZS handle part, so i now have one of a kind handles :D

They look just the same (dont even notice the paint difference really) but they are a million times stronger and actually work :D

A few pics of the day.....

My car is filthy but will get a wash once my exhausts sorted (thats why they are missing in the pics)!

Massive thanks to Kev, for being there for me and Rachido popped along and helped loads aswell. Thanks guys,

Sammy

Try spraying some 'plus gas' or 'penetrating spray' (that stuff isn't designed to be sprayed on body parts if you know what I mean :whistle: it stings! ) on them.

I think Maxxed Ross mentioned he could get hold of some.......failing that the local hardware store should have some or maybe even Screwfix.....
