Yep, you guessed it.

Central locking (TF) has a mind of its own and I have read a few posts about the issue already I started to pull apart a donor door to get to the actuator mentioned but I have no idea what im looking for.

I assumed it was rather small in size but the only thing I can see that could be it is attached to the pillar latch?

Is this it? And whats the best way to remove the from the (2)arms that are attached to it

I will try my best to describe it; Its white and has a heap of small screws holding on a plastic cover and a wired plug. This is all attached to the pillar/door latch?

Is this the thing I need? And are the Left and Right hand sides (actuator only) interchangeable?

Dowload and look in the workshop manual.
You are correct, the actuator has wiring attached to it.

Errr! Nope! But we do tend to use different terminology . . . .
The actuator is a box with electrical connections on it and is mounted on the side intrusion bar. The two rods attached operate a lever on the actuator (and the actuator operates the rod when you use the key to lock/unlock). The lever can be removed from the rod and adjusted, try that first before you remove and throw away a perfectly good actuator.

Thanks for your help. I'll get onto it today and get back to you.
