Has anyone replaced the door handle on the boot/rear door?

Mine felt a bit loose, and unfortunately someone tried to open the
boot while it was locked and ripped the handle clean off.

I think it had been repaired before, I can try and glue it all back together
but the stress on it is probably too high.

Any good ideas on where to buy a replacement?

Cheers.

It is easy enough to change over with just a few fiddly bits to cope with.
The mechanism is certainly a bit of a week point, I now treat it as a switch, squeeze to 'release' and then pull gently to open.
The first one I bought from a wrecker was almost as crook as the one I had to replace, leading to a discusison with the merchant.
