Right this afternoon my central locking started playing silly buggers and now it'l lock on the central locking but you have to unlock everything individually...

Never even had any signs of any problems till it started this.

i think she's upset and sulking bout the bump last week!! :(

The same wires that lock the doors also unlock the doors, by reversing the polarity of the voltage applied to them, so this part of the circuit should be OK.
The locking ECU is told to unlock the doors by earthing either the green/blue wire to pin 6 or the green/violet wire to pin 9. This request is blocked if pin 10, red/brown is earthed.
