Title: Front Central Locking Motors
Post by: Dan Hope on 17 April 2010, 20:44:19
Hi All,

Long time no speak! Today I finally got around to checking out my central locking on the front doors of my '03 2.6 Omega.

When i bought it, the front passenger side wouldn't operate, and now the drivers door won't operate so i need to lock the car by key, no big deal.

I've been looking on ebay for some motors/solenoids but can't find any. Does anyone know if motors from any other car will fit straight on, like from a Vectra maybe? If not, any idea how much these are likely to cost from Vauxhall?

Also, finally fixed my heating problem (where the heat only came outa the passenger side vents). just by chance, i saw a motor on the drivers side footwell that was exactly like the one on the passenger side which is mentioned in the guide on how to fix this issue and bugga me, the rod was hanging off the back of it, so thats that sorted...now winter is over, sighhhh

anyway, hopefully someone here can help with the central lockin issue :-)

thanks
Dan

Hold on to the old ones as they can often be repaired by changing the microswitch. Then you'll have a spare pair. :y
