Hi, I just bought a 325 touring. Its a Jersey car as I now live here, but I have a couple things I'd like some advice on.
I cant lock any of the doors with the key, and cant even push down the drivers door pin. I have read up on all the electric how too with the central locking wiki, and gonna look at that tomorrow. The previous owner never locked the car, which is common here!!,,, is this why I cant lock the doors/boot with the key?
Maybe just WD40 in and around the locks?
Do the actuators seize up from lack of use?
The wipers and the fan have just started to work properly from me trying them regular.
Also the sunroof seems to be a bit sunk in, at the back and bounces up and down if i slam the boot, but works fine, any ideas?

Sorry about all the questions, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gar
