so ive got round to the microswitches, drivers door isnt mounted on the plate, passengers doors microswitch is also not mounted but are both present just hanging inside each door? do i need them for the central locking to function?
No apart from maybe if they used a complete aftermarket central locking kit only explanation, i can lock the car by microswitch in drivers door but not unlock?
Today i managed to get all the actuators to unlock all the doors even the front two doors by hand when pushing the actuator up and down, however when i turn the key in drivers door it didn't unlock?

Finally got the alternator pulley noise sorted, some more tensioning was required. Have changed the cone filter back to a standard air box tonight, now idling around 1k which is much better. still not 100% and sounds a little misfirey? possibly think could have a tampered with MAF. Removed all the s...
