I've done a lot of reading on the forums, but this is my first post.
Matto, I owe you big time. What bloody incredible guide! I'm no mechanic, but I always do my own repairs - I couldn't have replaced this part so quickly and efficiently without your help. I really enjoyable job this was, and really satisfying to finally have the problem solved.
Fitted the new lock to my passenger side... now I need to find a new lock for the drivers side! Same problem.
Thanks again

No worries and glad it helped you out. I know what you mean about an enjoyable job. As far as repairs on these things go, its one of the less horrible ones :signLOL:

Does anyone have any experience with the non-genuine door locks available on eBay? One of mines gone and I don't know whether to pay genuine prices or go with a cheapo one..

I bought one off ebay, not happy with it.
I have to pull the door handle twice for it to open.
I would pay a little extra and go original - I wish I did.
