You only need 1 actuator for the drivers door as per the fact sheet, try contacting the seller & see if they can supply one, don't know if halfords will do one, not sure if Maplins sell just the actuators, or put a want ad on the wanted section, someone may have one spare if they got a full set.

No worries, good luck with the bloody knuckles :wink: As per Jaylee's advice you may need a bit of an extension to the actuator rod, a "proper" older wire coat hanger makes an ideal donor :wink:

5 pages of details here:

one of my first mods and one of the most useful.

See my posts in the above topic, but as has already been said you'll need to find a single long rod, I used a length of copper tube with stubs of the original soldered into the ends. (After a couple of failed attempts with jointed short rods). Still going strong.
