Alibaba. The first 4 I bought had no gears and smooth shafts. The ones in the car had splines to retain the gears. I did end up swapping one over and put the gear on with loctite bearing retainer back in April 21 and that is still working. That was the one I rebuilt in 2017, so I got another few years out of it.

In the mean time I found a set with gears so I bought a set of those also : For Land Rover Door Lock Motor For Freelander 2 Range Rover Sports Version Found 3 4 Aurora Worm Central Lock Engine Parts Dc 12 - Cables, Adapters & Sockets - AliExpress

They look about right, but haven't had to fix one yet. The rear drivers door is playing up a bit so I suppose I'll find out when the weather improves.
