<![CDATA[Popping the door handles back in]]>Someone today tried breaking into my car by popping out the door handle about 1/4 of the way. I've tried pushing it back in. Is there anything i have to take off inside or something to be able to pop it back in??

All you gotta do is reach around under the bumper, pop the bonnet and your under the hood!!!

Okay, so it probably isnt the easiest way... but definitly the coolest 8)

Since the central locking doesn't go with the alarm, and the fact the keys are stupidly weak and break, i just arm the alarm and leave it unlocked

Im just glad i've not posted any pictures so people in my area dont know what i have :lol:

Not wanna get that sorted?! I've often got guitars and things in my car, I'd never chance that! The keys are balls though, have to agree there.

Ive broke 2 :shock: ( aftermarket) keys already and only had the car since end of october :cry:

Try these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-KEY-BLANK-FOR-MAZDA-MX3-MX5-MIATA-PROTEGE-1990-1996_W0QQitemZ180188393607QQihZ008QQcategoryZ52640QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

yer they are crap loughy, i was speaking to a key cutter and he said he gets lots of them as they're long and have a narrow part in the middle :shock:

I finally took the handle off. And i had to mould the metal behind back to shape with a hammer a socket. Lol. Pain in the ass!
