this must all have resulted from refitting the carpet daz and disturbing the wiring around the transmission tunnel.

You've obviously checked fuse 17 mate?

Occasionally the windows would pack up on me, but a jiggle of the wires near the switches always cured it, never had the central locking fail on me.

Is the immobaliser still working then?

TBH mate, electrics is a hassle particularly problems like this. If you do fix it it'll probably go wrong again as there is bound to be water coming in where there is the hole in the bulkhead. I'd just live with it. How longs the MOT got left?
