Central Locking Ball Ache

Central locking on my 5th will lock and open passenger side door but will not on drivers side! Can't hear it engaging the motor or anythin! Any ideas much appreciated

Give the interior lock a bit of a jiggle, spray some stuff on it.

Every now and then my passenger lock wont do anything (no sound, no movement) because it sticks half way, pot luck as to whether it sticks locked or sticks unlocked. I should sort it really

Is that when operated by the key or from a remote fob, minimoose?

If it's from the key, that has nothing to do with the central locking, it's purely mechanical linkage between the lock barrel and the lock itself so as Donal says, investigate it on that basis.

Has it ever worked? If not, could be you need an actuator in the drivers door (had the same setup when I bought my lude with the Honda fitted alarm/immob). I added the actuator and roberts your mothers brother.

You gotta style it out, pretend you have an important business call and put your phone to your head and talk loudly about the FTSE, mean while look around like you don't give a toss who's queuing. Own that forecourt. Whilst your busy pissing everyone off, use the key to get in, sit in the car with the door still open, wave your hands a bit. "Yeah yeah yeah, have Bernice fax you a hires schematic of my gentleman's sausage. Ciao." Shut the door, start up the engine on 4k revs, pull out on any rhubarb as you leave the station.

That's how I do it anyway.
