HI
Not sure then, other than checking out these boxes of spring assortments that you see around..places like Screwfix. I guess the rot killed the spring as well as attacking the shaft. David

Should be plenty in the breakers. They are fitted to the V70, the XC70, as well as the XC90.

Anyone got a photo of the spring that could be posted up ?
Maybe someone checking this Thread might have one, or knows where to get a suitable replacement ?

£92 later and lots of faffing about the tailgate handle now is working and with 12 months warranty.
anyone else that gets stuck in a similar situation. (aka stuck in the boot of the car) you have to push the boot cable not pull it |

I cannot attempt this repair at the moment, as I'm only 5 weeks into recovering from a fractured shoulder (and surgery), so went for the easy option with a can of WD40. Fingers crossed, it seems to have done the trick for now!!

i would stick to the wd40 unless u want to pay for the replacement part.
mine was in such a rusty state. i did get some 4mm steel from B&Q for about £1.50 the worst part is getting the old pin out. Doing this on a cold day didnt help as all the plastics were brittle Was a worth while repair as the numberplate lights were all battered and falling out. now ive got a upgraded version and the bulbs are more white than yellow which looks good. and the handle works perfectly. |

Spring repair
Yesterday decided to sort the handle, after finding spring snapped other month. Round bar 4mm B&Q £1.98, took old spring and bent into what I thought looked like it's proper shape. Got lucky first time, the arms (as seen in photo) are parrallel to each other. All put back together, now sorted.
