3-door tilt levers - replaceable?

[C.A.R.]

My car has some GTi6 leathers in but the lever handle on the drivers side seat has broken a bit. You can still operate the tilt/slide mechanism but I wondered if the handle itself could be replaced with one from a scrappers?

More to the point, how would you even go about replacing it?

Important as in 6 weeks time that will be babies side of the car too...

I'll get a picture up later.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I forgot to get a photo but will do later on if it helps.

Basically the lift handle to tilt the seat handle has broken a bit, I'm wondering if it can be replaced or whether I would be better off sourcing another drivers seat altogether.

I would imagine it is removable anyway, given that the handle is larger than the aperture it can only be fed externally.

I would unhook the seat backing and roll the seat up, see what you're faced with. If it's broken internally it will be obvious, and I would imagine you can exchange a working part.

I'll be back in Peterborough soon if you get stuck with anything major.

Edit:

Servicebox agrees with me:

11 quid new iirc.
But there a bitch to remove once there on there though.

Got some pictures now.

It's literally just the little plastic bit on the end which is broken - can this be purchased separately? (or does someone have one kicking around?!)

[C.A.R.]

Yup, £11.26. Probably worth just going to Pug and ordering one.

Part number is 8905 48

(just so I don't have to go back into Service box to look it up again...)

Need to order two myself just can't face parting with £22 for them.
