Rear Door Central Locking Busted

Yes, it does sound like the actuator is the culprit. And no, it is not a coded part... just plug and play.

I did my drivers side rear door a few months back. Found a used one one ebay for £25. Works a treat-bargain!

I never shop on eBay or such sites for parts since the door mirrors I had stolen from my car showed up on eBay earlier this year.

Did the seller get nicked?

No. The sellers location on eBay was Lithuania. Obviously a nice immigrant was stealing them and sending them to their mates in Lithuania to sell them back to the mugs they stole them from in the first place. And what are you going to be able to do about it from Ireland ?

4 neighbours with X5's all had their mirrors stolen the same night, and they all appeared on eBay for sale at the same time. These things are €2,500 a pair from the dealer.

Cheers, thanks for the advice.
