When i brought my 320i the seller 'fixed' the central locking as part of the haggling over the price.
A month later the central locking will operate only off of the drivers door and even then refuses to deadlock! (the central locking will engage so actuators fine prolly) the drivers lock barrel has obvious signs of being forced with a screwdriver!
Am i resigned to replacing the barrels, ignition, boot and box lock or is there a better solution?
The sunroof will only work with one of the doors open i assume its a dodgy wire in the door somewhere as it only just stopped working normally...
Also, the heated rear screen and cig lighter wont work despite fuse being ok. :cry:

I know its quite a list but the car is my pride and joy, i've wanted an e30 for as long as i can remember and putting mine right is the least the car deserves. would appreciate the colective wisdom of all those of you who have suffered similar problems ...and started swearing profusely lol!
:D
