Central locking motors

Anyone know if the electric motors in the lock mechanism is the same for the front and rear ?

Yes, the little scalectrix motors, as we call them, are the same size in the rear locks as the front. The casings are different so the motors have to be removed if switching them from the rear lock to the front.

Hi guys,

Is it possible to replace just the motors in the door locks then? I thought it had to be the complete lock replaced. This is for a '99 P38 DSE

yes you can replace the motors but cant get them from anywhere but it means that you can buy rear locks and strip down to get the motor to put in the front - rears are about 20 quid a pop on fleabay fronts anything up to 55 quid
