Rover door handle - exterior

lida · 7th March 2023, 13:05

Need advice for a temporary repair to driver door handle, for purposes of MoT. Door handle works fine if with one hand I put pressure on the edge of the handle, while with the other hand working the handle. When handle hanging out, I can see on the right a metal bolt in the mechanism which dovetails with whatever is in the handle. Can’t see what is on the left.
Should I use epoxy? It’s for the short time she is at MoT station.

Sorry Arctic, I am speaking of my Rover 416 SLi, so the innards are different. I don't suppose anyone would remember this model .......
