how to remove door handles on a 2006 RRS | |
Up date!!!! have done it, and learnt how!! take the passengers side off first, this is done via your key from underneath the small cap comes off, but unlike the other door handles (on the 2006 model) the passengers door as a key barrel to remove first and this is done via a torx screw through the side of door when open, there should be a little rubber gromet, remove and seek hole and unsrew torx ( but becarefull not to drop it like i did with several trips to dealer B4 getting the right one , coz I didn't want to take door pad off looked involved ) I suggest you undo the torx screw while trying to wriggle the lock barrel out, and use a magnet attached to tool
after this as been removed you then can give the handle a pull and tug and this should just slip out. the others are held in with two clips that are not designed to be removed without breaking, ( see my pic's in gallery) they are only £5.65 each from L.R. so I bought new ones coz I was having them painted. then to remove the other three handle is the same as first one pull and tug off.
P.S dealer told me L.R have changed the caps, so they all have a key hole removal system, like poassenger side?
PPS if buying mud flaps and thinking like I did that land rover wouldn't be cheaper than E Bay, well think again coz they were cheaper and with no postal cost. Stephen Hughes
