dodgy door handle ... door not opening from inside

iv noticed a massive amount of slack in the door handles and now you cannot open the passenger door from the inside.

popped off teh door card and noticed that the sheath is slipping cuasing the cable to slack. is this a common issue?

iv noted that the sheath is a single piece going straigh to the latch (i think) so a bit of a pig to fix. my only option at the moment is to zip tie the cable something to reduce the slack.

anyone had this before? how did you fix it? thoughts?

thanks
Bal
