Simple op to remove and replace with one from maplins of the same value...cant remember the value of it now.
Also, another source for these pumps: VW golf series 2 has exactly the same unit to lock its doors and are fairly plentiful in breakers. 
Oh yes, the golf also uses the same door actuators. |
Cheers 4v6. I have stripped it down as the problem wasn't with the electrics but the actual motor keeps seizing/stalling. Ever been stood outside your car for 5 mins wating for it lock or unbloody lock?
I work in the electronics business and one of our Guru's checked the pcb and that is fine. So I might as well replace it.
