   Hi there new to all this ive just bought a saxo vtr and it had a few things wrong with it one of them is the exterior drivers door handle wont open from the out side but will from the inside so i took the door card off and had a look inside and some one had cable tied the door handle rod to the latch but the cable tie doesnt really work keeps sliping so just need the clip but havent got a clue wat its called or were to get on from.

   my passenger door does this, get to scrappy and get the bit from the middle of the door where it latches to the car and change that, that sorted mine out, hope this helps
