Hi all

My passenger side deployable step is very noisy when it moves in or out, like a grinding noise. I cleaned up all the hinges and re-greased them but it made no difference.

Is it likely to be the motor itself making the noise? Looks like genuine motors are about £150. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience of fitting one, was it an easy job?

Looks like a few bolts holding it in, but I'm not sure how you get the motor spindle out of the bracket, presumably with a bit of force and pulling!!

Any advice appreciated, cheers

sounds like a new motor is needed but our Craig will know.... ... - .- -.

Yes it needs a new motor i would suggest! or, if you don’t use the ns one or don’t have the time for a while simply unplug it?

PITA to change though sir Hence why it was NOT changed prior to your purchase!

i'd say deplorable predictive text, on your DEPLOYABLE steps issue

I'll probably just get the local specialist to change the motor then if it's a tricky job, to be fair I can live with it for now, it's just slightly annoying!

And yes I didn't notice the title!! Thanks to my iPhone predictive text for that one maybe a good description though!

mine started out like that and then began to remain out for a few seconds longer. then one day it caught me out by sticking out when I was going over a kerb just after start up. ripped the whole step off.
follow Craig's advice and unplug it so you don't have a £150 job turn into £2k

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll unplug it and book it in to be fixed
