Land Rover LR3/Discovery 3 door locking actuator removal and repair Part 1

Land Rover LR3 door locking problems?

Some videos mention bending catch arms inside the LR3 door actuator mechanism, but this is not guaranteed to work and could actually cost you a whole new mechanism.

The cause of this failure is a small stepper motor inside the actuator mechanism that locks the door. These motors are easy to find on Ebay, and only cost a couple of Dollars. OEM replacement mechanisms cost in excess of $100.

It is quite tricky to get the mechanism out, but if you are patient and gentle, you'll get it.
