Again I'll check pictures on a bigger screen when I get home but at a glance that rod looks ok!

Can you try to get a picture of the back of the handle and the area below it please?

The end of the rod with the plastic on should sit in a round concave hole, I think, which will be below the handle. The other end will be attached to something behind the handle. If you're lucky nothing will be broken and it'll just be a real pain to get back in due to the lack of space.

I'd recommend finding a childlike contorsionist! ;D ;D :-? :y

Don't panic yet... From what I can see that rod looks fine! I have managed to just knock this rod off on cavaliers and vectra's when trying to force entry for locked out customers...

If you can try to get the other pictures from behind the metal it'll be really helpful!

Hopefully I'll be able to have a good look for you before 8.

Right... I've had a look and tried to get perspective on what goes where... I've edited the 2 pictures I think are relevant and hopefully I've got the right bits!!!

This looks like where the metal end threads through

http://www.flickr.com/photos/24961476@N08/2546280576/

And this looks like the end with the plastic 'plug'

http://www.flickr.com/photos/24961476@N08/2546280500/in/photostream/

Check whether that seems right... You should be able to hold the rod up inside to check. You'll have to try and pop the red plastic bit out (from pic 1) I expect to be able to get the bar through.

You should be able to see where you need to go because pic 2 is definitely where the end with the plastic lump goes (I'm 99.9% sure of this!!)

Sorry it took so long but had a disaster when I got home... The chest freezer has been fried today and tripped all the power off at home... Took about 45 minutes to track down what was wrong!!!

[edit]I couldn't get the pictures to appear either!!!! I'll have to have a play at a later date.[/edit]

This is so frustrating because I could probably fix it for you in a matter of minutes now you have the door card off!!! It's really hard to explain and get perspective!!

I know exactly what it'll look like but it's hard to get it from the pics!!

If you hold the rod in the socket you should be able to see where the wire end belongs by a process of elimination... i.e. where there's a hole for it to go through and it will reach!!

I hope you manage to get it fixed tomorrow afternoon!  :y :y :y
