Land Rover Part Number: FUD500020 - Central Locking Actuator - Driver's Door
FUD500020 is the driver-side central locking actuator fitted to the front door latch on Defender (L316) vehicles produced from VIN 7A000001. It forms part of the front door latch mechanism: an internal electric motor and link convert the central locking signal into linear motion to move the latch components and locking rods, allowing remote or switch-operated locking and unlocking of the driver's door. Faulty actuators can cause the door to remain locked or unlocked, fail to respond to the remote, or operate intermittently. This part supersedes FUD000020 and is matched to the latch assembly specified for Defender L316 front doors within the stated VIN range; when replacing, confirm the door latch type and V.I.N. to ensure correct fitment for the front door latch mechanism.
