Door lock solenoid/latch substitute

I have recently had a failure of the right rear door latch/solenoid mechanism in my 1997 9-5. Searching the archives didnt reveal any repair success etc, but for the benefit of others, due to issues with cost and availability of Saab parts I looked at alternatives. I can report that in the Australia/NZ market at least, the same vintage (1997-2003) Holden Vectra door solenoid unit is a straight swap. It looks identical, except for the Holden vs Saab part numbers printed on each respectively. In addition, there is a specialist company in Auckland that reconmditions the Holden units, and these sell for $NZ 150 (exchange basis), with a 2 year warranty.
I would expect that the same would apply in US/Eurpoe with the Opel Vectra, as the Holden is essentially just a rebadged Opel.
