Hi Andrewtyre, I had to use quite a significant amount of force on the lever before it released the lock. It was quite easy to push to a certain point then for the last 10mm it did take a decent push. Other people have more experience than I in these matters and I would appreciate their wisdom on this, but if I was in your position I would use a meter to check on the continuity of the wires and any that are suspect I would repair. The rubber boot between the door and car body is kept in place by fragile plastic clips so please be careful when removing. If the clips do break, use a mastic to ensure it’s waterproof. Sorry I can’t be of more help

It turned out that the problem was within the unit itself. The actuator was working intermittently but wasn’t able to exert enough force to unlock the door. I used a large screwdriver and using quite a bit of force pushed against the lever circled. This unlocked the door allowing us to to remove the faulty lock. I hope this helps someone and thanks to firejinx. Kind regards John

Hi firejinx 🙂 Thank you so much for your help. I have checked the wiring with a meter and everything appears to be fine, hence I think I have the same problem. I shall investigate how to remove the old actuator and fit a new one. Apologies for taking so long to respond, my computer is on a go slow. Best wishes, and thank you once again, John

Hi did you manage to resolve your problem? I'm having the same issue. Does anyone know which wires do what on the central locking? I haven't seen any broken wires but it doesnt necessarily mean there isnt a problem. I was considering connecting a battery directly to the module. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Kind regards, John

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond Ootohere 😊. I bought the door with the LF7W paint code. The car looks a mess at the moment so it’s got to be an improvement 😂 Thank you once again 👍

Edit 😩 I’ve been told that the two paint codes are the same can anyone confirm this please

Hi folks, can I thank everyone for their help over the years, you’ve been a great help. My 2011 combi has been damaged by a lady reversing into it. I need two passenger side doors. The paint code is 9559 but I’ve been told that paint code LF7W. Can anyone confirm or deny this please Many thanks once again

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Yes it is Artic green 👍 I have searched EBay but there’s nothing available yet. I think my best option is to keep my eyes open on EBay. Thanks once again

Hi folks I hope you’re well. An elderly neighbour has reversed into my car. Both passenger side doors are damaged. I’ve had it to a friends garage who confirmed the damage is limited to the doors but despite this if I went through the insurance the car would be written off. I would prefer to just replace the doors. If anyone knows of any doors for a 2011 combi pain’t code 9559 please let me know. Kind regards John

Dear Hive Brain , I am having a problem with the 4 windows lowering completely. I assume that I have inadvertently activated this myself, but its a function that I don't use. I want to deactivate it but I'm not sure where it is. Where can I find this in vcds, please? Apologies for this but I cant find it by using the search function. (I know it is there somewhere!!) Kind regards, John

Excellent 👍

bonjour, merci pour votre message. Oui, j'ai acheté VCDS.

I went for the Gendan option. Thanks once again

Many thanks 😊

Could I ask your advice where to buy the VCDS system from please? I only need the basic version. Thanks 😊
