P38 door handles

hi guys ,, think some thieving pig has tried access my car , they have pulled off the drivers door handle ? Looking at it it he's been snapped off inside , now looking on auction sites etc there is only a couple for sale but come with keys and ignition barrels ,, at about £60 ,, do I need all this and can the barrell be changed ?hard work climbing over all time .. Thanks n advance .

I am sure you can change the barrel in the handle

Hope so I've just bought 2 ( not cheap keys from landrover ) ,,,lol ,,just worried if I change lick or barrell then key code entry would change ?

If you change the door lock no it won't. Just get a service key made to suit the new lock barrel for use in emergencies. The EKA code can be entered with that if needed or on your car with a Nanocom. Fobs should sync in ignition.

Great. Went outside to try look at lock again ... Can't open runny door from inside either now ,,, so car handle failed and inner handle failed too. ... Is there any way of entry without smashing door card to bits ? Not having much luck ,,

Drop the window and remove the horizontal seal from the door. You will be able to see the mechanism and should be able to hook the broken part to open the door.

Never thought of that 1. Snowing now so will try later... Not sure what I'm hooking but I'm sure I'll see something. Thanks Again

put in your location, there may be someone close who can help.

Had this awhile ago with another owner.

Buy a passenger door handle complete, and a drivers door cam kit (STC3064) as you need to damage the original one to get the handle out - but this also repair's the bit where it doesn't always retract fully.

You can actually replace just the pull handle part, and the driver/passenger side pull handle are identical.

This thread:
http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/7-...2-definitive-fix-stiff-p38a-door-handles.html

Has a good pictorial guide of the cam kits and replacing them to fix the stiffness/jutting out of the handles - but with the cam unit removed, you can fully remove the main door handle and swap it over for a non-broken one. You might even find on yours that it's the cam part which has failed and the handle is actually OK - but if you have a replacement then you're set anyway. A passenger handle will probably be cheaper, as you won't have to buy key/ignition and all that...

The back part of the handle with the lock barrel etc can be used with the new handle, to then keep everything original.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I've ordered a passenger side to have a look

Hi guys can this be repaired ? Or anyone repair them ? Or is it new handle time.

Thanks in advance

See the part number of the cam kit I listed up in the other post - that's what's missing from your picture...

if you thing the nub on the end of the handle is too worn, then as I mentioned, the actual pull handle part can be swapped out.

I am back home on the 10th Feb - so if you don't have it sorted by then, let me know and you can send all the bits to me and I can fix it for you and send the repaired handle back.

Cheers for that ive progressed ..purchased a cheapy iff fkeabay for 30 quid ..drilled out the pin and inserted new parts to my lock ...hope i can put door back together now lol

Glad it's sorted!
The actual cam kit, (new) for the door with roll pin is only about £5 from Island 4x4 or LR Direct though!

I'll have to get around to that in the summer. Both my front handles now require a slap to knock them back in after using!

Mine too, I just live with it

I actually tap all the driver door handles of my cars out of habit!!!

Don't suppose anyone got a spare 1 of these ,,,heavy handed bugger me.

They are cheap enough to get new I think
