My mates AU driver door lock is playing up, is the actuator as simple to remove/replace as the E-series, and any advice on what to look out for & etc

Hi

I replaced my drivers side AU actuator a little while ago.

When you go to ford, they will give you a BA/BF actuator (they are the same). Make sure you get the adapter to make sure the electrics match up.

In terms of installation its only about 3 screws. very easy. However I found that I had to remove a brackety shield thing from the BA actuator. Otherwise the metal rod wouldnt go on the correct way around.

Also helps to be good with yer left hand as its in a bit of an awkward position.

Otherwise I would say probably an hour job? Including a beer afterwards and sitting there playing with the key fob making it go up and down!!
