Our 1.6 SVE (57 plate) recently developed a fault with the front passenger door lock. When the car was locked a loud buzz could be heard coming from the lock. Even though the car locked ok this was a worry as the lock would possibly fail completly. missus took the car to a local nissan garage at Box near Bath, who diagnosed the lock was knackered.
(This led me to this forum, searching how to remove the door panel.)

They quoted around 150 quid for the lock and i think about an hours labour to fit

I managed to locate a new lock on ebay for £70 and spent 2 hours yesterday fitting it. not too bad a job in the end, lots of tea and bikkys to keep me going.

a fairly easy job but a bit too cold for me, easy when you know how

Our Micra has the same issue. For the second time...

From what i've read, this is quite a common fault, was there ever a recall for it?

Sorry to dig up an old thread.

We've got a similar problem with our car. The Nissan garage said would need replacing at some point but I forgot to get a quote for it. Chris9R was it relatively straight forward to fit? Did you have a manual to help?
