got mine on ebay for 60 bucks..labor to install it...230! ouch

 

You can buy one for $3 off ebay. The actuator itself is just a ford part # unit. I just replaced mine not knowing what was wrong so I bought the whole assembly off ebay used for $35 (shipped from England).

 

I have my drivers door not locking , I can only buy the whole lock unit in the UK but have seen just the actuator for sale in US for 7.95 do you know anyone that ships to the UK they all seem to only ship to US or Canada

 

In the UK, have you tried David Manners or British Parts UK.

Or a quick UK Google for Jaguar spares will give you a decent list of breakers.

 

Has anyone used one of these $5 actuators ?

 

which $5 actuator?

 

I bought one when I did mine but had a used set up as well. Went with the used set up. It does look identical though.

 

Did you take everything out or can you just take out the lock fitting ? Sorry just realised im in the XJ forum I have an S type

 

Just found one in UK will try it , only 4.99 stirling

 

I had to loosen everything in the xj rear to get the actuator to a spot where I could remove it. Going with a aftermarket likely means you'll need to solder it in so you should just be able to remove the actuator and the harness, solder then put back in. It isn't the easiest job to do as access in any door pretty much blows.

 

OK Guys, I guess this is my weekend for somewhat stupid questions....My front passenger door actuator goes down when locked, but then immediately raises up while the other doors remain locked. Is this going to be an actuator problem, or an electrical signal from somewhere else raising this one actuator back up. Also, upon looking at a spare left handed door I have, it would appear that if I replace just the actuator, that I will need to splice into existing harness as it has two leads on it from one plug. Is this so, or am I confused? Thanks in advance for your patience.
Duh...just re-read benebob's response which answers the splicing question.
