Default Where is the best place to buy replacement door actuators?

I've been having some failures, and would like to replace 'em, where is the best place to buy replacements?

I'm running an 2001 AU II sedan.

Cheers,
4ford

Ebay is guess, but the prices vary a bit. You can get them from wreakers but the condition may not be very good

Uk

I just bought two repair kits including motors from ebay for $87.00 incl postage. I recieved them the next day, and they were easy to change with clear instruction's 1/2 hour to do both. Now the wagon locks.

Depending what is broken. Chances are it is simply the gear in the actuator in which case you can get these off ebay for about $17 and then you just swap it into your own actuator and all will be good again.
