I need series 2s passenger door handle. These are offered on ebay. I hope the link works. Soles by Bolton bits.
Make is RDX. Has anybody used these, just wondering about quality etc.

Probably the same as the paddocks supplied ones at half the price? bolt on bits are one of the dearer eBay Land Rover specialists (in my opinion)

I've always bought them from paddocks but one did brake after 10 years or so on my daily driver

Remember S2C members can get a 10% discount from Paddocks

I doubt if there are many manufacturers making these, but the last pair of door latches I bought from Allmakes only about 3 months ago were very good quality and work fine. Can't be any poorer quality than the original ones...

As others have said, there are cheaper sources.

The vehicle compatibility list appears to have more diesel options than Solihull offered!

Do you need a new one Mike ?

I have a box full of door handles............

[ChrisJC]

I dismantled mine, shot blasted them, sprayed them silver, rivetted them back together, and used Plastidip on the handles.

Nice work 

[MikeT]

They do look good. I will check out the plastidip.

Hi Alex, I thought new, but after seeing what can be done I make make use of a used one.
If its ok I will contact you after I see what I need.

I like Plasti Dip has many uses - like to seal the ends of rope.

I would think that the door handles would need 2 dips

Now that I can't recall! Unfortunately. But I found it very easy to do, and it looks good. Shame it used about 2% of the tin.

Used Plasti Dip for our handles. Think I coated them twice.
Still had over half a tin left, so sealed it up so I thought.
Needed it for something else a few months later, opened it up and it had set solid.
so much for saving it.

Try storing tins like that up-side-down.
