How the hell do you get them off?:wallbash:

I've removed the screw behind the door seal, and the screw inside the door. The handle comes out a bit, but it feels like the locking mechanism or something is still attached - problem is I can't work out what it is!!
 
Incase anybody needs to know, I worked it out today. On post 86 models, there is a connecting rod to the locking mechanism. To remove the handle, you need to remove the screw behind the door seal, losen the screw behind the handle (remove the door card to get to it), and then...... insert the key and turn it to unlock the rod.

Easy as pie when you know how!!
