In '84 central locking was available, but not standard. I had a non CL '84 316 myself once.

Maybe you have it but it's not working. One easy way to check its to look at the boot catch, on the inside. If it's CL you'll be able to see the CL solenoid below it (behind the number plate).

If it's not working there's mucho advice on the the zone on how to get it working again...

if you find you have it and its not working search for 'red black wire' and 'Brianmooore' as the author. if that doesn't work i have a couple of control boxes and solenoids here. :thumb:
