Could be that the replacement handle is on it's way out too. Have a look at the striker arm (the bit that usually breaks) to see if it's bent.

The stricker arms seems ok but doesnt seem to go down as far as the internal latch once pulled its seems a bit short ??

There should be a plastic adjuster on the end for the striker position...

there is a white plastic cover over the arm but is not ajustable?

I'm sure they're not adjustable, it's just a plastic cap. Have a good look at it, there maybe some distortion somewhere.

I have tried a few things now! definetly no ajustment and theres no 15mm spanner adjustment for the door pin on mine i have a 2l 16v. I have noticed the inside door clip to hold the centre section in is missing maybe thats my problem? thanks for the ideas! :D
