Ive been dealing with a bad actuator lately as it only locks but doesn't unlock. Today as I used my door key to unlock I felt a strange pop and knew instantly something went bad. After battling to get the door panel off and actuator removed I found the culprit. A broken door lock pin! After searching here on the forum it seems to be a common problem.

Looks like I need one of these: https://www.roverparts.com/Parts/LRD2-DOORPIN

Im going to try and take apart/fix the current actuator since I have nothing to loose now. Anyone know a good thread on how to open up this door actuator?

 

@abran makes the same part and has a thread on how to replace it. Shoot him a PM or search for it -- i have one of his pins and it is most excellent.

 

here's abran's (hint: BUY THIS ONE)

It's Abran's pin that AB is selling. Rovers North too.

 

 

Thanks for the links guys. I just ordered one from ABRAN.

 

Thank you for the support!

 

@abran Any chance this will work on a D1 as well? I have the same issue on my '97.

 

 

There is no pin in a DI handle. The DI and DII are completely different.
