Mine has caused some locking issues and I have been told it's the RHS door lock mech. Iv'e read enough threads on this now so know it's not uncommon. The dealer wants a kidney to replace it, but I already sold one to pay for the tie rods to be replaced. So I'm looking for good used or new mech at a reasonable price. Thanks
Honestly Graham, I wouldn't bother. It seems to get worse in winter when it rains. I has it for a while then the problem went away. If you really want to search the threads as I think there is a Fiat part that can be used. It is cheap and the same. BTW I replaced both lower ball joints and tie rods, very common. you can actually feel the steering get less direct reasonably quickly. I think you will be surprised by the difference once fixed. Plan on doing the other one, get the part brought in first. Maybe get him to check pads and rotors. If they are getting near to the same think. Rotors out of the UK are the way to go.
360door latch NLA. Conversion to fit currently available part big PIA. Easier to repair OE latch. Many dealers send them out for repair. Ricambi knows the guy.
