Did mine yesterday, this video was handy. Points i would add: 1) get extra door card clips (the white ones) before you start. You WILL break some taking it off. 2) rotate the clips off the rods with your fingers - it should take almost no force at all. 3) be sure to check that the bottom of the actuator body is clipped over the metal tab on the door, before you refit the cover panel.
Good video with a couple of extras to add. I struggled to get the door card off after following the instructions, theres an extra fixing screw behind the top of the pull handle after prising the cover off from the bottom. Also seeing 2 rods from the locking unit replacement in the video concerned me, no problem though as found my 2014 only had one rod and the used 2007 part only had one too. Sorted
Thank you. Mine has failed in a different way (remote locking won't do the drivers door, but inside lock on drivers door does both). Either going to be a broken wire to the door or the electrical part of this actuator
Got this exact same problem but struggling to find the part. Would you possibly be able to share exactly what you searched for or which item you purchased? 🙏🏻
Hi, so it's basically this item but for the driver side rather than passenger. ebay 332253213132. I ended up emailing a seller that was selling other car parts and they were extremely helpful and pulled the part from a vehicle they had and posted it to me.

..Excellent video...Concise and to the point...No waffle like most videos...Thank you.
Great video. I'm just about to do both of them on my car due to them failing.
Excellent video. Thanks 👍
Does help, even years later. Now I just have to find an actuator...
excellent video
Good video. Just to note these are £123 brand new from mx5 parts.
My passenger central locking not working. Is this what required to fix?
amazing, might need to get this done on mine soon too.
Thank you 😊 do let me know if there's anything I can help with

I think I have the same problem, did you solve ?
@@Texscalper-it , strangely it fixed itself and hasn't been an issue since. No doubt it will play up again.
Good luck.
I have the exact same issue…
