Door won’t open from inside

Driver door will not open from inside. I opened the door panel and saw the plastic base of door handle was cracked and the cable has a slack. Fixed the crack but after a few open and shut, the inside door handle seems stuck. Do I need a new cable and interior door handle?

I recently used this exact cable to remedy mine.

King Charles and Highorse, you guys are a gem. Always to the rescue. Thanks, just found out the cable is broke. Sad thing is I also broke the inside door handle. Off to the used parts store. Highorse, you’re always spot on. Thanks guyd

2003 Jaguar xj8

My door handle is connected to the actuator which I replaced a couple of years ago however, the handle broke and I had to replace it. It worked fine for a few months and then all of the sudden stopped working. I took the panel off and nothing is broken or detached, but won't open the door. I always have to roll the window down in order to get out of the car. Is there some kind of adjustment I need to make? You seem to be the guy to ask.

eBay comes up w/ a right including handle, seems to me if I remove the handle & just use the cable it should be reversible therefor good for either side ?!
