So my passenger door handle has broken, the little lever inside has snapped. Not a problem really as I bought a new one at Dubfreeze to replace it. But then ...
Today my driver side door handle started sticking, the lever stuck in the pulled position with meant I couldn't unlock the door. So, I'll put the new handle on the driver door, and try and service the old driver door one to use it on the passenger door.
The question is can the handles be serviced and repaired or is it a throw away item? Any tips on what to do? Or should I just get another new handle at BusTypes?

Just needs lubricating
A drop of light oil on the trigger pivots and a spray of white grease where the handle contacts the door mechanism.
