Get a big screwdriver and wrap the metal bit in a microfibre.
Jam it in the top of the door and bend the door outwards.
Stick a lump of wood (I used my jumper tied in a knot last time) and prop the gap open.
Stick an old coat hanger in the car and pull the door handle.
I recently wrapped a bonnet (and didn't use the striped glue stuff! D'oh!) and £100 is fair. It's not easy and if I had hair, I'd have torn it out. Very very tedious process.
That's smart repairable, my bloke would charge £70 for that. (35 for the bumper, 35 for the black plastic)
It's not an ideal repair (I wouldn't have it on my car!!) but it would pass the eye of a hire car company employee.
Best get ringing around in the morning George!
I think it's fuel. The gauge is slightly optimistic (by like a 10th of a mm, but I use the rule 'if it moves it's got fuel' on every car I drive... lol) and it conked out.
I had a gallon in the back but as it was on a kerb I think it needs another can. I shall update once the kids are in bed...
