My right side (driver's side in the UK) door lock keeps acting up in the cold weather - after unlocking the car the lock seems to not realise that it has already unlocked, and it just repeatedly clunks away trying to unlock again.
Complete replacement door lock/actuator assemblies don't seem to be available new for RHD cars and the old list prices are eye-watering. Used replacement assemblies are occasionally available but might be a gamble.
I seem to recall reading about people rebuilding the lock assembly with a new aftermarket actuator - does anyone have any experience of this?
eBay shows that aftermarket door lock actuators are available in the US, but I don't particularly want to order one without positive confirmation that it'll fit. Shipping back across the Atlantic for the returns process won't be fun . . .
