i dont think so i unscrewed it and took it out !

We tried to get one of these before and could only get it with a lock, which isn't cheap! But you can get a universal solenoid, which bolts to the door and the bar bolts to the bit that goes up and down. An auto electrician should be able to sell one to you - some of the universal ones have a couple of wires on, some have more so they will have to match one up with yours.

If you could post a pic I will have a look at other mazda cars in my mates scrap yard to see if there are any the same, have just found out that the interior door pull pockets on a 95 323 are the same as a bongo so now have a spare black pair.

'Bainy' got an actuator from Maplins. This is the link to how they fitted it, with the help of the advice on members factsheet.
