Part numbers are as follows:

Driver Side Door: 4E2837206G GRU
All Other Doors: 4E0839205G GRU

TPS can offer you slightly cheaper prices than main dealerships...in some cases you may even be able to open an account with them for significant discount on service items.. best to check with them how this can be done and the requirements..

Hope this information helps you all.
Thanks a million

Not sure buddy but you have to ask them.

Usually if you are a mechanic or have an automotive business. Maybe all you need is a vat registration number and a company name

Well because I've done it a few times now I know my exact way around and how to do it properly..so it took me about 1hr30mins from start to finish.

Might take you longer if you take time to explore the door mechanism and just getting to know your way around..

I would rate it 4 out of 5 and I strongly suggest you get some new door clips just in case you break the old ones.

I need a new drivers door handle, I was thinking of fitting it then getting my smart repair man to spray it in situ. Is that a bad idea ?

It's best to get it done before fitting to the car.. makes everything much easier in my opinion. Otherwise you'd need to mask off a good portion of the car which will be time and cost consuming.

I've noticed that the electronics in my car are working much better now. Before, the battery was always discharging to the lowest level but since changing the handle, it's always holding a full charge.
