That said it took a while to get the rod back in the right place before the clip would do it's job when trying to put it all back together, it kept spinning around!!!
Thanks for your help (things made more sense this time!!!)

To see what I mean, get a torch and follow the link rod up to the handle. You should see a beige coloured clip. The bottom of this clip is around the rod itself, just below where it bends and goes into the handle. You unclip it from the rod by turning it around the bit that goes into the handle.
Anyone got a photo so this makes more sense?

Had a good look today and the cable appears to be fine, both ends still in one piece and it looks like somethings gone pop in the latch unit. So I went ahead to try and remove said unit, but without a workshop manual this proved a bit of a hand munching waste of a few hours. I've probably missed something completely simple and obvious but after taking the three screws out of the door it's still held on by the rod for the outer handle. How do you go about un-coupling it and getting it out of the door?????
