Central Locking .. Can I Replace With Remote Versions

[shelbournes]

Sorry this may be one of my thicko questions

 

I have a galaxy N reg that I have replaced the locks on

3 times in 4 years ... Both the drivers door and passenger doors

seam to go every now and then

I am currently unlocking/locking from the boot...

to my question

 

Is it possible to by pass the central locking with a remote version

I see there are a load on ebay that state that your can ...

but I would like to know from the wonderful people on here

that are usually so helpful

 

I can use the handles to open as normal ...just need to know whether I can

replace with remote locking and NOT have to replace the

lock parts again .....

hope someone could find the time to reply

If anyone has already done this

please could they let me know which KIT they used from ebay and

roughly how long it took ...thanks so much for your time as always

yes, you can fit a remote locking kit and not worry about having to replace the lock parts, it would be even better to remove the locks altogether to remove the chance of them failing again and possible causing further problems! just get hold of a set of rear door handles and use them in the front doors, this also improves security!

thanks so much for your help so far...

no you wont need the kit with the solenoids, you use the remote kit to fire the OE locking motor, if you hit the search engine there are quite a few posts on how to, what kits to use and where to connect too
