Easy DIY job. Do a search for 'rightclick' and my username. I've posted the connections on here several times.
All connections are in the glovebox area.

Connect the yellow, yellow/black, and black wires together and to a 6mm ring terminal. This goes to the earth stud at the back of the glovebox, where all the existing brown wires connect.
Red goes to 12 volts permanent live. This can be the red/yellow wire that connects to the accessories socket.
White (lock) and white/black (unlock) go to the lock and unlock request wires of the car, which are found behind the speaker panel, coming out from behind the speaker.
The two blue wires go to the blue/red and blue/black at the plug and socket beside the accessories socket.

#1 Rule: Never buy a car that has previously been owned by an idiot!
Don't be tempted to fit an aftermarket central locking kit - get the original central locking back in working order, and then fit a remote locking kit.
Any original locking bits you need should be available cheaply from the traders on here. The system is extremely reliable, as long as the ECU isn't allowed to get wet, so there shouldn't be any problem with second hand parts.
The wiring colours of aftermarket kits are usually very similar.
