My handle on the driver side is really worn down and it's time to change it.
I have got a new handle and the only problem now is how do I fit it?
Any guide on how to change the handle or just how to "open up" the door so I can get to it. All help appreciated and pics would be great!
Thanks!

It tells at least how to remove the door panel

The exterior door handle is held on with 2 bolts, both need a 5mm allen key, its not too difficult its tricky to get the door latch cable routed correctly, if your right handed your drivers side is easier than your passenger side, as you can only get one hand into the door!

Also be careful as the pressed peices that make up the door are sharp and you will have small cuts on your hands afterwards!
