Re: [doc] Stalling problems

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Damm you again, you dreaded fuel pick up pipe!



Removing handle:-
1. Remove top door panel
2. Look down to where grab handle fits into u shaped bracket
3. this bracket is held onto door by two bolts on top edge.
4.remove these two bolts ( you will need to pull out the power mirror 
switch / blanking plate to get at one bolt)
5.remove remaining armrest screws / bolts / fir trees and pull off 
bottom panel with door handle attached:)

Kind regards
