Can any members share their knowledge regarding the passenger NSR door lock.

My car wont lock the NSR passenger door from the Fob switch, it unlocks fine, and I have to use the inside lever to lock it.

I see talk about motors but it sound like the clunk of a solenoid rather than a motor when I press the fob unlock.
Are their two solenoids (open & lock)

is so can I replace the lock one on its own?

are their separate fuses for each door?
I almost never use the back doors (even private Andrew Malone don't use the doors) so happy to just pull a fuse or disconnect the central locking on that door and just use the NSR door lock mechanically.

There are two motors inside of the locking unit one unlocks the other locks. The motors pick up dirt on the carbon brushes making them weak so they don't function as they should. You can either just replace the whole locking unit at a cost of around £130 or take your old unit apart and strip and clean the motors. I have fixed my old locks after replacing all 4 with new ones after they failed with new motors from Maplin.co.uk

can you remember the part numbers of the motors from Maplin?

Maplin has discontinued the motors as i purchased them over 12 months ago. You could try a model shop who does rc helicopters and cars as they are widely used in them. You need to get the correct worm drive if not just strip the new motors for parts ie carbon brushes as they will all be the same.
