Wish I'd taken it out of it's Nissan packet before leaving feedback. As it is I phoned the dealership this morning & the bloke in the parts department was pretty helpful, he has to consult with his boss but he agreed that I should be sent a replacement. Looks like I'll have to avoid locking my door for a while longer. Amazing how you just take the ability to secure your vehicle for granted until you can't!

The last order I got from dubai was shipped saturday and I received it yesterday. So 5 days.
Looks like growler has been at it first. Refund and order one from Dubai?Quote:

Not sure if it needs to be returned yet. I told them I’d be happy to return it if they cover the postage, & they asked for a photo of the damage so they can make a claim to Nissan. The chap who will make the decision about it being returned isn’t there until next Tuesday. I have the impression that they may not want it back but will have to wait & see.Quote:

Too late the pics already been sent. I reckon there is a good chance they'll tell me to keep it, but if not there is the old one to pull apart & examine.

Just putting it out there , hows the condition of the hinges , if they are worn , and being a big heavy door all the weight will sit on the catch and locking mechanism, causing it to bind up . Just a thought

It's water absorbent, away with workaday floods & tidal waves.
All I meant was how long till it failed again lol FWQuote:

I had already left them feedback (on Ebay) before I discovered the damage. Plenty of ebay sellers wouldn't have wanted to know once they had received the feedback, but Callum at Parrys was polite, helpful & professional, & sorted it all out quickly. Wish more ebay sellers were like Parrys.Quote:

But the actuator on the drivers door keeps getting stuck in the alf position and i wonder if its on the way out? does this sound like what was happening to you before it sh1t itself?Quote:

I reckon it was $360ish from Patrolapart. It doesn't come with the actuator. Yep partial lock/open was the issue before it shat itself. Buy and replace one now before it's too late mate
