Default Door lock actuators - different?

Anyone know for certain if series 1 door lock actuators are the same or different to series 2 and beyond?

Looking at Ebay, none seem to be listed specifically for the Series 1, some even say they all fit.
Do the series 1 have the white plug?

I have used series 2 in a series 1 before and then when you lock the car all the locks do a routine if lock unlock lock every time you lock it or open it. Ended up swapping the broken gear in the lock from the series 2 into the series 1 lock pug it back in and it was good as new.

My friend got his series 1 au actuator replaced with a ba/bf type and on locking unlocking it's locks 3 times up down could this be why? Longer ba rod or something?

If he used the rod that he got with the ba actuator than yes it wont work properly as i tryed doesnt sit in the right position also i forgot to metion the cable for the interior handle is a touch longer on ba as well had to use the origional apart from that actuator is exactly the same with the white plug.

I actually did use these guys when i ordered the actuator the other day.
Told them what the vehicle was and its in the mail already.
Funnily enough, after putting the purchase off for a few days and then deciding to go ahead with it, i went out the next morning and the dorr lock works fine again - typical.
Ill replace it anyway along with all the locks and ignition barrel - all are either worn or dodgy.

They are different, as others have said.

I used the (larger) cog and slider from a passenger side AU2 lock to replace the broken (smaller) cog in my AU1 drivers side lock.

Make sure you grease the cog very well.
