Because it's a right so and so to get to the consensus seems to be to replace it at the same time as it's not big bucks to buy

Did mine on Tuesday took about 45 mins quite easy when you work out what is where. Hardest bit was getting to the cable to release the top door. £46 for cable and latch off landrover

All done thanks you once again to this forum. I agree, the hardest bit was actually removing the cable from the actuator. I'd read elsewhere that it was tricky but hadn't appreciated just how much force was required. For me, a bloody big screwdriver and a single blow with the hammer did the trick..
