The upvc exterior handle on my back door has become loose. When I removed the handle plate I found that a white plastic washer that enables smooth operation of the handle is split. I rang the manufacturers (Hoppe), but they can only sell me a complete handle. Does anyone know where I can get one of these washers?

The upvc exterior handle on my back door has become loose. When I removed the handle plate I found that a white plastic washer that enables smooth operation of the handle is split. I rang the manufacturers (Hoppe), but they can only sell me a complete handle. Does anyone know where I can get one of these washers?is it the nylon bush that the handle fits into inside the main handle backplate? if i remember rightly the hoppe handles are riveted over to fit them to the backplate so you wouldnt be able to fit a new one anyway.
i may have the wrong end of the stick though?

Ebay 
If the washer's split, it's time to replace the whole handle unit. No need to spend huge amounts, new handles can be picked-up off ebay for a few pounds. Make sure you get the correct centre (distance between centre of euro cylinder plug and handle spindle, and correct fixing spacings.
