Recently bought a door-lock-motor for a Dacia. I think it was 4$ or so from China (motor including housing and all connection-points), but the culprit turned out to be a pushrod that had skipped a few teeth (probably when the dealer worked on that cardoor removing a dent...)

Correct, is a cheap chinese motor, can see it at 7:00 https://youtu.be/3gAPwre5hoU

Edit: I ordered this from Ali, I don't know if it's the correct size, will see upon receiving it https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3288...159a4c4dIm02Kc

It should do. It's only to save my dad the misfortune of buying more parts now. I'll hit him with it in 6 months time, unless I can hoik one off a scrapper in the meantime.
Besides, apart from the alarm siren, it'll be the 'one thing still broken' on it. So nothing else should break. The climate control fan is squeaking away, I won't tempt fate until the weather's nice!
