   my passangers door catch is broken, when you open the door it lock back up and i have to open the handle and push the catch in the door down and let go of the handle, i have no locks on the door so how would i go about fixing it ? scrappy and try and get another catch off one but its in a night mare place that hard to get to inside the door, just wondering how easy and what to do ect took it citroen and they side over £100 for the catch lolll, so any help would be great thanks.

   the 3 torx screws hold it in, theres the long rod from the internal handle and a couple of other small ones
