Question for you boys, basically my car front doors wouldn't lock or unlock with the key so I bought new handles with keys. Went to change them but when I pulled the old handles off, a small metal bracket fell down into the door and now I don't know how to get it all to fit again?

Haynes never did one. There was an Autobooks manual published many years ago, which gives a fairly good overview although is a bit light on details sometimes. They crop up on eBay / Amazon now and then.
I stripped my doors a while ago so hopefully when I see the pic it'll jog my memory!

I'll try find the book as I guess it'll help a fair bit! Can't seem to find one lol! Yh I'll get some Piks, basically as soon as I slowly nudged the handle to release it it came off and a behind it a metal/aluminium bracket type thing fell down. Like an inch height and 4cm wide roughly with a grove in it for the handle lock to slide into.. |

If you want, drop me a PM with the chassis number, and I can have a look on EPC?

Right lads here's some Piks The bracket  How I think it fits onto the handle  Inside the hole    |

Removed the bracket altogether to see what happens and hey presto it worked  hmmm lol that was odd, only on drivers side though. When I push the lock and unlock pin up and down on the passengers side it's just springy and doesn't really engage lock or unlock..?? |

From memory the piece below goes over the threaded part in the handle... In other words, take the piece and turn it 90 degrees and put it over the threaded boss. |

Ahhhh ok as in over this circle bit that's internally threaded as pictured above? Thanks

Yeah that's right. I can't make out which other part you're missing - has it fallen inside the door? Or is this the only bit you're unsure of?

Also any idea why the drivers rear and pasenger front door pins would be stiff and not lock and unlock?

The pin only pushes down when the door is fully shut. Has this problem happened since the lock has been taken off?
