The grab handle over the off side rear door had broken and apparently come away from the car body. It transpired that only one side of the handle had a screw fastening it up the body, the other side was just there out of curtesy. So when it was used, it broke. Taking it apart I found that the little pin that carries the load was only plastic, so I made a new one from a metal screw. I also found another similar self tapping screw to fasten it to the car in both locations as it should have been.
