try maplins matey. Make sure you get one with an on/off current though. and has a strong enough 'push' as it were.

Heard Gaz (GSMotorsport) chatting about it once, think he knows where to get them from aswell, so may be worth speaking to him.

cool u got an order code or some thing and what car was it 4?
as 4 flushing the door handels u need to remove the plastic handels [obvisly] and then welid a steel plate in place then use body filler over the top of that. the welding is the easyish bit but the filler sanding is the hard time comsuming bit.

just use a boot solenoid in each door but only get THIS do not go for THIS the people that sell them are wankers as the 2 wire motors are about £2.50 each to the trade and is will not last. the first will last as that is what it is made for.
