Silver beast: thank you for your reply, there is no remote, it is just standard central locking, locking it from the inside does not activate the locking and neither door lock activates the central locking, and the key has never turned in the boot lock since i have had it so thats out of the question, lol Gregers: Thank you! i feel at home already :) speaking of the boot gaiter, that is a good point as my brother repaired a wire for the fog light when i first got the car, never thought of that, i will check in the morning thanks for the quick replies :)
