Door Handle Problem
The rod that connects to my sc400 door handle broke. I was able to get the door open after reading a thread on the forum. However, the rod broke once I lowered my window. I was hoping it was just the connector, but it's both. I've found the plastic connector, but I need to replace the rod. Any suggestion on where I can purchase the rod and instructions on installing it.. Thanks for any suggestions.....

You are going to have to replace the whole doorlock mechanism. I did my brother's car when the rod on this SC broke. No that hard to do you just need small hands. Contact Aliga for a good used one.

Here read my topic, it has part numbers in it...but I suggest you buy a used one if you don't have much to spend.

Mine broke on the drivers side last week, I just ordered this part from Aliga.
Here is what I have left to do before she purrs like a kitten:
Fuel Lines and Filter, my original intentions was to do this over a month ago, but my fuel filter bracket is rusted, so I need that as well as the hardware and the fuel line connecting into the fuel tank.
Replace Sending Unit so my thermostat actually dips above C.
Rear Diff. Drain and Fill, either with redline or royal purple 75w90
Then I have to figure out my sunroof, I believe it's the motor that is out, after that I have an endless list of things I want to do to the car.
Right now I'm doing the important preventative maint. before I start to put in the cool stuff like new tc, exhaust, leather, tint, system, climate control lcd, etc.
