The mechanical piece is sided and different front to rear, the solenoid is not.
Your issue stems from the mechanical part. I suggest the latch from a left hand drive car because it is probably less worn than a UK right hand door one.
I suggested removing the front left door latch to give you an idea of how it works to facilitate opening the driver's door.

Blimey mate - you've gone way out of my league with a 3.3 Ventora. I’ve no idea Dave. I’d never even heard of that model before I met him. ![]() |

Was it called an 'Intercontinental' or something...? |

I never thought of it as being 'big'. Maybe I should have, but I did get all my tools in it - had to, with that age of a machine - you never knew when you'd need a pair of tights for a fanbelt - and yes, I have done that...
Mum & Dad used to take my sister and I on holiday - in a mini. With a roof rack on! Now, THAT was cosy. I also had an uncle - Manager at a Martin's Bank - he had a VX 4/90 Dead jealous. Mind you, his was new, my 101 was well old when I got it. |

I’m not overly familiar with older Vauxhall’s, but I do recall that my first boss, when I was an apprentice, had a Vauxhall Ventora 3.3, which I believe was linked to the Victor in some way.

This is worth a watch. Mike Graham interviews the excellent Liam Halligan, who gives his forthright views on this shit show government and how it could become a whole lot worse post Starmer and Reeves. No thanks, I don't want to suffer any more nightmares!! ![]() |

Sorry to be a pain, but please excuse me as an older women asking this: I have purchased a can of Holts professional brake cleaner, which I will use as instructed on the callipers and pipes. But can this be used to get the grime and any rust off of the shocks?Are you a Virgo? It is because I need to know what is required before I start any work. Others have raised many valid points on this thread, which is great as I could have just cleaned down the shocks with a cleaning agent as I would in my home! ![]() |

This just popped up in my news feeds. It appears that Auto Express like the BMW i4 M60 as well.
