Door handle sticking open, not flicking back with spring.

Hi, my left side door handle seems to be sticking open - it doesn't spring back naturally. Once I push it in the door will close properly.

Before I dismantle does anyone have a similar experience with a simple fix? Many thanks!

Thanks for the advice JPS635, I’ve admired your car for a while now!

Group C JPS tribute build.

So an odd 40 years after laying eyes on the JPS 635csi I'm finally building my own tribute. I've been following these cars around like a groupie for a few years now, and I'm off to Philip Island Historics in a couple of weeks to see the racing JPS 6's in full flight. I currency own a series 2, 5 spe...
