i spent like an hour washing my car and polishing it etc, then 2 minutes later a bird decides to take a dump on it.... =(
then when i got home i went to open my door from the INSIDE and the inside door handle snapped off!!!
has this happened to anyone else, im assuming its due to obviously wear of old age but god dam! |

Damn ty, you seem to have the worse luck. i think there are a few people wrecking atm. they might be able to help you out with the handle. I think it's just age mate. Not a lot else you can do. |

Glue won't hold the handle for long, new ones aren't that dear, call your local Toyota dealer. |

Agreed, very high stress part of the car - glue would be useless..
I got a new handle from Toyota a few years ago for $80. |

use a bit of blu-tac that should hold it.
Also i'm constantly haunted by the "leopard" (this is the type of car the ones may turn into straight after a nice polish up and hence the forthcoming rain which in turn brings down all the dust from here to the stratosphere onto one spot - your car - resulting in a [in my case] black car with brown spots or a leopard)
•••• hate the leopard... |

Trust Nissan to name a bland looking family saloon after a fascinating predator. |

Way better than there earlier offerings like; the Nissan CEDRIC, and Nissan SILVIA..............Sounds like the local "Darby and Joan" dance at the old folks home!
ps; What's with the Nissan Cima.............All I could think of was; "CIMA FAT Arse waddling down de road" |
