I was certainly hit with bad luck for this door issue. Dismantled the right drivers door. Had the new actuator in and suddenly realised it didn’t have the cog for the door lock. Amazon (china) sent me the right hand door one but it was for us models mine is RHD and so I have to return it. Ordered a new one. What a job to get everything in. The china door carrier didn’t work so well. The hole in the round part at the end of the cable that is meant to connect to the actuator was too small to go over the nipple. Had to carefully drill it bigger. The handle spindle end bit broke off (the part you push in first then twist which has the two nibs on the end of which one broke). Luckily I had a spare.

Finally, got it all back together in the heat of the day.

Door all working fine again. My issue solved.
