In the central locking circuit pdf from the Russian site, there is an 'unlock inhibitor switch' symbol.
Where is this on the car? Im having some problems and am trying to rule it out
Unlock inhibitor switch?

If its the deadlock, they are in the locking solenoid....

It's probably the deadlocking microswitch that get's pushed when you turn the door lock 45 degrees to the left (deadlocked).
This switch is pressed all the time the deadlocking is engaged, and tells the central locking unit not to unlock anything.

Could be my problem then, cant lock or unlock the central locking with the remote or the door pin, if I short live to the Blue wire locking output the doors lock but wont unlock when I short the White wire unlock output. The lock barrel has sudenly stopped locking the door aswell, but still unlocks.

Could be the Microswitch in the drivers door or the connections in the A pillair

Just been out and tested that theory, the microswitch is working fine, when open puts feed to the unit, when closed shows ground.
Joined the black/red wires, wiggled and WD40'd the door connections
Unless the unit itself has packed up

The autolib diagram is correct for UK cars, although it's for a LHD car.
Not quite sure what problems you're having. If the unlock inhibit switch is closed, then all the door locks on the car should be deadlocked. If it's just one that is deadlocked, then I would suspect the lock motor.

All sorted, changed the central locking unit over this morning and problem solved.
There was some water in the pillar when I bought the car last year, so its probably took this long to corrode the inside of the unit
