If I’m reading this correctly, and I’m not sure if I am I’m just trying to interpret it, it sounds to me like you’re getting a warning coming up on the IPK, (speedo) indicating that something is open, if that’s the case you’ll probably find it’s the bonnet switch that’s at fault.

Hope that helps Mick

I think you can try to reset the central locking by (from the outside) holding down the lock button on the key for about 10 seconds (I'm not 100% sure on time but someone more knowledgeable on here will come along and correct me). It's also a good move to deactivate the low speed motion central locking function (unfortunately that's a job for a T4 so not cheap wherever you are) because it shortens the life of the drivers door latch motor, a common fault with our cars (presume yours is LHD).
