you can fit standard universal aftermarket one in.
just need to modify the wiring, and possibly the linkage, but its been awhile since I've done one.
Just buy a set of them at JB or Strathfield car radios (or the equivalent). How many are you needing, I might have one or two genuine or aftermarket ones.

G'DaY Peter, Just my opinion, but I wouldn't go for aftermarket clamp in solenoid/actuators for 2 reasons: first is they are difficult to fit securely in the rear door with the snib a long way from the lock and secondly they are not waterproof and once water gets in them they fail.
Have you tried to get the old ones going? ---WD40 etc....they rarely fail in a terminal fashion

Yup - we're wet up here in the clouds as well. I fitted 4 X aftermarket actuators to my daughters Laser - they lasted 12 months till the rubber boots fell apart and water got in. The factory ones are much beteer designed so I'd go the WD40 route first and save $$$$. Good Luck.

Im sure Ive fitted aftermarket acuators to the rear door of a VS wagon and it bolted up fine to the existing holes. Just had to change the wiring.
I would definately go genuine items on my car though.
