Hello alas as soon as one problem is fixed another arises

My question is this do I need to replace or will a good blast of WD40 sort out this noisy culprit

It's not doing it all the time I am just worried the lock will give up the ghost and I will be stuck with a locked door that's a pig to get open !

Cheers

Just ensure you get a central locking type mechanism. ie It's not from a 1.6. They look outwardly similar.

The boot loom is responsible for all kinds of electrical weirdness! :dry:

checked all joins in the loom as it was repaired before one or two soldered joints looked a bit dodgy so re soldered and working once again.
I think I am going to hack some wiring loom from scrap yard and splice a join further up if this happens again :nonod: :nonod: :nonod: :nonod: :nonod:
