My drivers door handle snapped on Saturday, it had been threatening to do it for a while!

My question is, if i buy a complete one from ebay, will a 5 door handle fit my 3 door drivers door?

Also, can i fit a handle that is for the passenger side? Presume they are the same....

Can i fit for example a rear 5 door driver side handle to my front door?

Might be silly questions but as far as i can see its the only thing that will fail the MOT on

Thanks

    My drivers handle snapped a few months ago and i took a chance on a drivers one from a 5 door and it fitted fine mate.

    Not sure if a rear one would fit but i know there different from side to side.
