Default Door handle snapped off

My 94 Disco 1 interior driver side door handle snapped off today, can I use the handle from the driver side rear for now or do I have to resort to rolling my window down to get out? Also, is it easy to adjust as I have to make a few pulls to open both front doors from the inside?

Thanks,

Here is what you need to fix your door handles.

Yes you can use the door handle from the rear door until you get a new one.

I understand that your plastic handle snapped off, from pulling on it to hard if I had to guess.
No there is no nut you can adjust.

I have the parts you need from my 97 D1. Let me know exactly what you need and if you want the parts. Cheap.

@ LRD2&ME, I am more than open to this, as far as I know I just need the door handle as it's a one piece unit, shouldn't take me more than 30-45 to remove and instal new one. How much shipped, 91321 zip code?
