Re: Remote control unit
I'd guess one of your locks might be frozen up?
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: Remote control unit
Try squirting it through the lock holes, then activate the central locking a few times first - might save a load of work
Don't forget the boot!
