Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread on here concerning the above :failso I ended up buying a second hand one as mine only unlocked on the remote, it wouldn't lock. On taking the old one off I discovered the plastic pin that attaches the actuator to the lock had broken, I fiited the 'new' one but decided to see of I could repair the old one, I could!
I just unscrewed the actuator from the body, unclipped the broken pin, superglued it back to the main part, drilled it with a 2mm drill and then screwed it securely on with a small counter sunk self tapper, put it back in place and hey presto, a fully working actuator/lock for 'nothing'. Bet I never need another replacement now though but, if it helps somepne else.......
Cheers
