HenryC Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Hi all, So my drivers side door has been playing up for a few weeks now. The door won’t open after it has been locked but will open from the inside. Finally took it to Nissan to get them to check it and after a £200 diagnostic check they confirmed that I need a new locking mechanism and wanted another £450 to replace it!!! Does anyone else think that this is ridiculous? Should I try and buy the part used and get someone else to do it or just take it back to Nissan? Many thanks, Henry Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Avoid Nissan for Diagnostics and repairs. I should have all the parts that you require in stock Just let me know what part/parts that you require. Also what side and what model of 350/370 you have. Hopefully another forum member will be along shortly with a recommendation of a suitable independent in your area. Quote
HenryC Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Yep learned that the hard way..... I have a 2009 370z GT ultimate edition. It’s the driver’s side locking mechanism. They wouldn’t give me a part number. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I really require a bit more so that I supply you the correct part. Is it the actuator that has failed? Is the part that you require similar to this image? Quote
HenryC Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Sorry to be a pain but they wouldn’t tell me anymore than that. However from having a look on here and other forums it seems other people have had similar problems and they say it’s the actuator. Is that what is in the image? I have no idea Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Yes that is the door lock assembly including the actuator. Ask the garage to provide you with a written itemised quotation which should include a breakdown of the labour charge and a list of the parts required including the part numbers. In my view that is most certainly not an unreasonable request, in fact, I would consider it mandatory. I certainly would not consider giving them authority to proceed with the repairs until you receive this, if you were to decide to get them to fix your issue. 1 Quote
HenryC Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 I’ve taken the car back now as I didn’t want to give them any more money. I will contact them and ask again for the breakdown as they said they would keep it on record for if I wanted to go back to them...... If I don’t get anything from them and worst case is I need the full part, do you know how much that will set me back? Thanks for all your help! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 The 370 R/H actuator would be £75.00. If you wish to proceed after you have spoken with Nissan then just drop me a PM confirming that what is in the image is what you require. Quote
RichCox350Z Posted February 26, 2024 Posted February 26, 2024 OP - did you end up replacing the door actuator and get it working ok again? My car has developed this issue now, wont open from the outside. Quote
