Further thread resurrection!

I'm currently replacing the very same handle too. £19 off eBay. Hopefully it won't end up being a waste as I've just battled with replacing the undertray to stop the awful noise I'd get going over speed bumps, pot holes and peas under mattresses.

However, I'm actually posting to see if anyone knows how to get hold of item number 12 in the schematic? I need four for both sides of the car as the compartments just fall out now.

Thanks!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the springs can be opened up so that the door bins stay put when the door is closed hard.

Yeah, I tried that. It's kinda the reason I need new ones! I used my heavy duty pliers instead of my 81s.

I’m going to need an passenger interior front door handle for my sister’s 2001 C5 estate. Can anyone tell me the number, please? And also of the clips for the door trim which I read on another post can break.

Ok, so got your glasses on?

It will be easier for you to pick the numbers of the parts you need and then I can get you the part number.

Many thanks.

I believe it is No. 16, the interior door handle.

Is there a different diagram for the door card? I think I should buy the clips as a back up too.

Item (16) is part: 9143H7 for the left hand side James. £81.18 inc. VAT from Citroen.

This is for a standard door card if it is just the clips (70) as for anything else I'll need the VIN due to finish differences.

The clips (70) are part: 6991S6 and are 14p each.

Just like to add, but a trim tool, few quid and saves loads of grief. Something like this https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-and- ... mover-tool

Great, thanks very much thanks.

Price seems to have doubled since it was first mentioned in this topic. I guess as stock goes down they put the price up.

Second hand seems tempting again now!
