Back door lock

Hi there,

Does anyone know if there is a modified back door lock I can buy which will accept a power door lock solenoid?

I cannot see that I can one to the standard unit I have and it appears to be fully sealed and I cannot gain entry.
Thanks in advance,

Roy 300tdi 90 1996.

You can buy the later 2002-on variant with the attachment for central locking. Only problem is that it uses the later longer barrelled key, so you'd need to change that too.

Alternatively you can split the old lock (drill the rivets out) and attach a rod inside, or I've seen people attach it to the locking tab on the inside too.

Cheers retroanaconda. If I split the lock, how do I join it back together again?
Will the later locks go on to my door without me having to modify it?

Cheers. 300tdi 90 1996.

Some small countersunk screws/nuts can be used to re-tighten it. Beware of springs going boing if you open it though!

Yes the new style will fit, the rear door lock orifice is the same right from present day back to the Series 2 in the late fifties.

The repair kit I bought for mine the other week (locking spring breaks) came with pop rivets to hold it back together. Seems to work just fine!
