So my central locking has been bugging me as it stopped working, so I thought I would buy an ebay kit for 15 pound, I replaced the drivers side actuator with the new ebay item which took me 2 hours to get it right, disheartened at the amount of time each door was going to take me I retired fot the night with a beer then a brave wave hit me I ran out to the car and cut the blue and white wires from the main loom and attched it to the new look loom and hey presto every lock work at the touch of a button so now I don't need to take the other 3 doors apart job done
