Fitment questions

Will a door lock mechanism from a P11 Nissan Primera fit my P12 Primera?

No, these are different generations — the P11 ran from 1996 to 2002 and the P12 from 2002 to 2007 — and the door lock mechanisms are not interchangeable across that boundary. Stick to the correct generation for your car and confirm the exact fit with the breaker against your registration number.

Does it matter which side I order — can I use any Primera door lock mechanism on any door?

Yes, side matters significantly: you need to specify NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right), as these are handed parts and will not swap between sides. Make sure you tell the breaker which side you need when requesting a quote.

Will a lock mechanism from a 5-door P12 Primera fit my 4-door P12 saloon?

The Primera P12 was available as a 5-door hatchback and a 4-door saloon, and the door frames and apertures differ between body styles, so a front door lock mechanism from a 5-door is not guaranteed to be a direct swap into a 4-door. Confirm the body style matches yours when speaking to the breaker.

Does the trim level affect which door lock mechanism I need — for example, does an S, SE, or SVE Primera use a different part?

For the door lock mechanism itself, trim level does not affect fitment — the S, SE, and SVE designations do not change the fundamental door lock unit. What can vary cosmetically is any associated handle colour or finish, but the mechanism behind it fits the same door structure regardless of trim.

I have a 2000 Nissan Primera — will a pre-facelift or post-facelift P11 mechanism fit it?

The P11 Primera ran from 1996 with a facelift introduced around 1999, and parts from either side of that facelift may differ in detail around the door furniture. A 2000 car sits in the post-facelift period, so aim for a post-1999 P11 donor, but confirm cross-facelift compatibility directly with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Do I need to know the engine size or gearbox type to order a Nissan Primera door lock mechanism?

No — the engine and transmission have no bearing on which door lock mechanism fits your Primera. What matters is the generation (P11 or P12), the body style, and whether you need NS or OS; give those details to the breaker and you can ignore engine variants entirely.
