Just spent a couple of hours changing the motor in my driver's door lock for one from one of Daz's scraps. The motor is working fine but the rod & pin is still not quite lifting enough to unlock the door, requiring the key or manually lifting the pin the final millimetre to pop it up enough to unlock.

Presume this would mean a new mechanism with the brown casing is also required?  :-/ I have given the mechanism a good dose of grease while it was apart.

Just out of interest which part is the solenoid? Is this in the motor itself or the mechanism with the brown casing?

And the guide on here was very useful - much better than the shi77y pics & instructions in the Haynes book of lies.

changed mine on pass front door, made no odds either, but mines only lazy in cold weather. :-/

Well it seems to be working fine now, so a liberal coat of grease was the answer!
