My driver's door lock stopped working. The shaft had broken off the nylon gear in the electric actuator mechanism.
Can you buy the gear? ![]() Will the wreckers sell you just the motor assembly that easily unscrews from the door lock mechanism? ![]() So I bought a passenger side mechanism, $110, 'cos that was the only one they had. I removed the gear and fitted it into the old assembly. At least I did not have to pay someone to do the installation. I do understand about not breaking up assemblies, about on-costs and about inventory issues but $110 for a plastic gear still, as Kath and Kim say, gets up my goat. (PS Please do not now tell me where I could have picked up this gear for $5.00) Victorian Rock'n'Roll Dance State Championships Saturday 10 March Hungarian Centre Boronia Road, Wantirna see www.vrrda.org.au for details .

Thanks EA2BA,
but in the words of Maxwell Smart "I asked you not to tell me that". That post certainly gives a good coverage of the issue and I will check out the metal gear option in the future. I guess we still have to buy an assembly but the metal gear should then outlast the car. I did consider pinning the shaft and gear together but I am not real good with precision work.
