Correct front locking motors are the same left & right
rears are both the same but different from the fronts  :y

This (from maintenance guide) made me ask that question

In the following picture the mechanism has been stripped down to show the two microswitches in position. Note that passenger and rear doors do not use the second (black in this case) microswitch, and it may not be fitted to the unit at all. The repair procedure is the same. however.

I've always been led to believe the fronts were interchangeable  :-\ in fact I have a used passenger locking motor on my driver's door  :y
