Hello,
The above is the driver door solenoid/actuator that has almost given up the ghost, the rubber boot has come away which I have reattached and there seems to be a bodge job on the end of the piston!

Can someone tell me what the part number is or point me in the right direction to ordering a new one.

Cheers in advance
Martin

thanks for that.

The removed solenoid only has two wires (Red/Black and Green/Black) these have 5!
Not knowing much about electrics, can I assume that I just need to connect two of the wires?

cheers
Martin

You can get 2 wire versions on ebay. IIRC they were Ford KA boot solenoids originally.

Thanks for the link. Interesting that he believes the door should have the 5 wire connection. I have ordered one with 5 wires so will check if i have 3 spare wires somewhere in the vicinity of the door lock. It does seem that someone in the past has been messing around with the lock as seen with the screw attachment on the piston. Noted also that he thinks the operation of the boot release can/does affect the door release. Also my boot release via the Cerbera badge doesn't work but the boot release on the fob button does work.
The fun begins when the new one arrives and I try to install it.
Thanks very much for all the feedback.
Cheers
Martin.
