Replacement Guide
Recommended steps for a safe and effective replacement (for experienced technicians and competent DIY):

Installation Recommendations
- Inspect Linkages And Clips: Replace any corroded rods, worn clips, or damaged seals when installing the new lock.
- Lubrication: Lightly lubricate moving parts with a suitable dry or white lithium grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.
- Check Electrical Connectors: Ensure connectors are clean and fully seated to avoid intermittent central locking faults.
- Test Thoroughly Before Reassembly: Confirm correct locking/unlocking and handle function to avoid having to reopen the door panel.
- Follow Manufacturer Procedures: Where available, adhere to repair manual instructions for torque settings and assembly order.
