Hi,

The drivers door central locking does not work. I have to lock and unlock at the boot. I think it is a loose connection...but I could be wrong... any ideas or help please.

Needs taking apart and a good/clean/grease/service. Arm of the deadlock switch will need very slight bending to compensate for wear, and the two steel prongs from the latch will have wotn the alloy operating arm slightly. Bend the steel prongs a little so that they are worked by an unworn piece of the alloy.
