Are all door latches the same?
Hi Folks,
I have the dreaded "door ajar microswitch" problem on the 2004 XKR Coupe and rather than swap the switch (and potentially get it wrong) I thought I would swap the entire latch (thanks to Sam's excellent youtube video).
I have seen several different latches for sale on ebay and all have different part numbers but seem to be the same. As the doors never changed I am guessing the latches didn't either?
Can anyone advise if any latch will fit?
Thanks in advance folks!

This is the way it works on European specification vehicles:
If you have double locking fitted, a second press of the remote (within 3 seconds of first press) double-locks all doors and sets the alarm system. Once double-locking is completed one signal will be heard and the direction indicators will give one long flash.
The US security system specification has some differences and this MAY not be the same there.

The lower section stays on the door latch. Trying to pop it out of the latch arm as Rev Sam describes in the video is an almost certain way to break it.
