Hi all, I am attempting to change the drivers door solenoid and wanted to know if anyone can recommend where to purchase one?
I have already had the control box mended after rewired after I incorrectly plugged in last time I removed. Have to say the windows and boot open much faster. Suggestions and tips on the process ae also welcome.

I’ve bought 4 from here:

But I’ve had some issues with them.
One draws too much current (pops the fuse each time).
One didn’t retract enough after activating, to work properly in the door release, but was fine for the boot release.
Glad I bought 4!

those are the wrong ones (even TVR fitted such ones in their early cars):
they have too much play inside, therefore the stroke is not sufficant to open the doors...leading to multiple attempts of the ecu to pop the door open and as consequence the ECU will burn or a fuse gets blown (if there is a fuse)
you need to use Ford Fiesta boot-solenoids with a return spring

Which version of Fiesta please, my doors are getting lazy at opening.they have too much play inside, therefore the stroke is not sufficant to open the doors...leading to multiple attempts of the ecu to pop the door open and as consequence the ECU will burn or a fuse gets blown (if there is a fuse)

The power supplied to the door release actuator is via a cable going straight from the Door ECU to the location at the B pillar.
