Yes, I finally finished my first major project he he he
I picked one up from 'star dismantlers' at Smithfield for $40!!! They removed it from a VY that had done just 45K. Virtually brand new actuator.
But, I could never figure out how the blue plastic cover inside the door fitted back on. So, it's ended up next to the spare tyre in the boot!!!
Thanks a lot to everyone who guided me through this, especially Juzo, and I've saved $210. (Holden quoted me $250 to fit a new actuator)

It is definitely a good feeling working on a car yourself, extra bonus of saving money too

you won't believe how long I stood around admiring and showing off to the missus!!! At one stage the missus said if I didn't stop locking and unlocking the door, I'll stuff the actuator again!!!
It certainly is a good feeling!
90K service, here I come!!!!
