E46 door handle

Recommended Posts

Another thing on the list... 

The driver side front door handle on Miss M's E46 has far too much travel - needs lifting further than it should when opening. 

Is this the same as the E36 issue? Is there a fix kit avail?

I've never heard of the e36 problem to be honest, what is the cause?

There's a part in the door handle Mech that wears when the handle is lifted too far, as it wears, you need to lift it more, exacerbating the problem. Eventually something breaks, and the handle becomes floppy and stops working. 

I think I sorted this on a car we had, but y'know how it is. So many cars, such short memory.
