Tonight the car developed strange noises from the doors.

Traced the fault to a noisy blue box amongst the wiring nest in the passenger footwell (with a large block connector and single lead). Disconnected single lead and fault stopped. Nothing of note in the bible.

Anyone had a similar experience ? Guess I need a new 'blue box' ?

any advice appreciated.

You can get an entire 2 door remote control central locking kit for less than that (£96.95 inc. VAT)!! (uses the same type of soleniods as the electric boot release)

They also do a basic 2 door kit for just £44.95
