I just replaced my door handles (tungsten colour) with Santorini Black ones. I had to order them from the UK as they are not available in Australia.

They are really easy to get off once you do one, first one is always the hardest. If you want instructions on how to do this PA51 ELY has a thread or send PA51 ELY a Private Message.

Without a doubt I prefer the Santorini Black ones, looks so much better. I'll post photos tomorrow morning. Customisation: LED (CW) Internal Lighting, Re-badged Steering Wheel (black/silver badge), Wheel Caps (black/silver badge), Black Magic Tint, Santorini Black handles

I would rather have the Tungsten ones and would buy them from you if it were not for postage charges from Aussie. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

In total, it takes about 15 minutes t change all the door handles. I fitted Stornaway grey ones to mine. Firstly, unlock the car

On the drivers door, and both rear doors the following procedure should help.

1) Remove the small end cap from the handle, these should un-clip.
2) Pull the main handle towards the back of the car, the handle should move about 3/4" and simply remove the handle from the door. Re-fitting is of course the reverse of removal.

The passenger front door is a little different.

1) Take off the end cap with the lock symbol on it.
2) On the inside of the door, there is a rubber bung about the same height as the handle.
3) Remove the bung and undo (A little at a time) the torx screw, until the lock barrel comes out of the door. The barrel is not connected to anything and will easily come out. Don't undo the torx srew too much as it will fall out into the door and you will have to remove the interior door panel to retreive it.
4) Re-fit the new handle in it's place and re-fit the barrel and tighten the torx screw.

All in all 15-20 minutes is all that is needed.
