Lucida Sliding Door Problem...any Help/info!?please

[ukgal]

hi there

ok, our sliding door,... became tempermental over a year ago...it stopped opening from the outside!...so we always had to open passengers door, and open sliding door from inside!!!not too bad!!

then the inside started playing up, you would hear the back mechanism thingy (really techincal..me)(im a woman)...and then the dorr wouldnt open!!! after a few had shoves,kicks etc...it would open again!..then each time it would lock up...i managed to get it open by pulling (quite hadr)the interior door handle, towards me, you would hear that mechanism sound again..and it would open....my problem now is.....yesterday, i pulled it a bit too hard...and snapped the handle off..smashed it!!

does anyone know, where i can get a door handle from!???

and also how i can have both interior and exetrior handles working again!??

my husband seems to think its that mechainsm thingy(that pulls the back end in)..is to blame!!

any help/info, would be great!

kind regards
