I found the one on ebay, but it is a whole mechanism(and it not cheap!!!), then i need only a handle.

A very common problem with the door handles is this piece breaking:

It then seems as if the door is locked, when it's not.

"Tver, Russia" sounds like LHD ;-)

There is a few common failures on these, one of which is the pin just next to where Tom circled coming out. On the plus side, they are 23 notes new in the UK, so translate to your favourite currency ;)

Unfortunately - sure. The handle is broken. When I tried to open the door - the piece of handle left in my hand (exactly the plate for holdind it).
The Car is LHD.

The alloy is brittle - I've had a couple of V300 door handles snap in my hands. I wouldn't bother trying to swap in a new handle only, just replace the whole mechanism. It's a fiddly enough job as it is without making it harder for yourself.

May be you are right. Can someone help me with a whole mechanism with a reasonable price?

maybe Royal mail can help?
I'll pay for delivery, no problem.
how much do you want for your handle?
the royal mail prices for delivery are : http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/cont ... tId=400034 (7 pounds, i mean)
