Marcos Maniacs

Thanks Paul
   The part I am after on the windows is the crank part that the 
motor bolts to, I have posted a picture of the part in the photos 
section
if it is a Jag piece thats great I'm sure I can find one.
   The interior handle is the door latch release handle I think you 
are referring to the pull handle that you use to close the door.
    Cheers Dave#5577
