Hi, the door handles on my MK2 van do not want to return as if the return spring is not there both doors are the same they open and close OK but the handles are floppy! is this an easy fix?

I would be grateful for any advice on this issue, are the springs replaceable?
Thanks.

Years ago on here a Slovenian member had some
springs made so they must be replaceable. I would strip the handle and look what kind of spring it needs as a lot of them are comon to different makes.
So where does this bit go then ?

Yeah, I found that thread when I searched the forum, I think he was selling the springs on ebay for a couple of quid at the time, I couldn't find any for sale now though.
You can get a replacement handle on ebay for about £7 so that may be the answer, just use the spring from the new handle.

There may be an off the shelf spring that would do the job, it's just a case of finding it.
So how is the door handle removed, you have to drill the rivet out don't you?
