The electronic actuator on my rear door has packed up (the touch sensitive switch) and thankfully Maserati built in a manual back up. I have WD40'd, prayed and disconnected the battery ( which is fine as it lives on a trickle charger) so I suspect its a new door handle - easy to fit or leave to the pro's?

How much WD40? Mine needed about a pint. (Well, a BIG spray, at least.)
And a new battery.
