Drivers door handle

Post by Baldwin »

Drivers door handle has stopped returning and now feels a bit loose though it works OK and locks and unlocks OK. What's the likely cause of this?

There is a big difference in handle and catch design between 4 and 2 dr cars, so I've no personal experience, but the 4dr does have a return spring in the handle, see ESM website: https://www.morrisminorspares.com/searc ... urn-spring
