  • Great video, do you happen to have the part numbers for the "pack of all those parts (spring, retaining clip, and paddle)?" Thanks!

  • @GarretDavies Sorry, I don't have the part numbers - the kit should include all 3 parts so as long as you buy the kit for the right side of the car there shouldn't be a problem.

  • My key is just spinning in the lock. Is this a symptom of needing a repair kit like you show in here?

  • @MrChrisdw2110

    Probably a broken paddle, but without seeing it I couldn't say for sure.

  • can any1 help? how to get to this stage from scratch to carry out this procedure id'e be very gratefull as i dont want to damage the handle/lock to remove it to get to this stage and do this job,, thank you

  • @247iceb

    Google for "how to remove a lupo door handle" and use the link from the DIYNOT website to remove the doorcards.

    Once you have removed the upper and lower cards. Look in at the bit of the door that goes into the shut. There is a blanking plug above the door latch. Remove the blanking plug and use a hex/torx bit to loosen the screw off. Then the handle becomes looser so you can remove. Don’t undo it completely or it all falls apart and is a nightmare to reassemble.
