FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi in need of a right hand front door actuator for the central locking mechanism if anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated.

You are better off going aftermarket from someone like jaycar. The stock ones tend to go eventually (are a weak point). An aftermarket set of actuators is not to much and are much more relaible

is there certain specifications it must adhere to for the FTO or is it fairly general?

I like how he put in the front door bit cause other wise he may of ended up with the rear door ones
Haha sorry just bored not picking on u

Just get one of these, exactly the same one I used to fix my central locking problem. It isn't a direct replacement, it works off the existing wires, you just have to find a place to mount it in the door, and attach it to one of the rods that that move when you lock the car by hand.

It has worked flawlessly for years.

Here's the DIY. Handy for indentifying the wire colours.

Nothing wrong with rear door actuators either. The only difference is that one of the front door ones is considered 'the master' (5 wire) one 'the slave' (2 wire.) Neither of which is important because you don't utilise the 2 way switch in the master, you use the FTO in car one.
