I have a problem with the central locking in that the doors lock fine with the remote, but when unlocking, the alarm unsets and the passenger door and boot unlock, but I then need to use the key to unlock the drivers door. Is it most likely to be a faulty lock and if so is it a main dealer only part or can anyone recommend another supplier. I would try a breakers yard but feel it may be a false economy is this is a common problem. Thank you in advance for you help. Jules ps Has anyone got a Radio cassette or MD for sale as some of the buttons dont work on mine. It also powers a CD changer. | ||

LTS tunning (lee) might be able to help or give you some advice. Image: http:// i46.photobucket.com/ albums/f115/ missjoannemoore/ 4690_1174979335858_1 269308848_48684.jpg | ||
