Central locking - Page 2

If all doors are locking and unlocking from the centre console switch, and assuming using the mechanical key lock does the same? (can you confirm this) changing an actuator will not solve the problem. From your posts it sounds like a key issue or a possible BCU fault,

Is the light on the key flashing when it locks and unlocks?

And that's the question that should have been asked first isn't it.
Does sound like a problem with the key circuit board or switches.

Unlock button on the remote is faulty. You can buy replacements on ebay, but you need care and good soldering skills to replace them.

Yes the button in the car works fine can use key to lock and unlock ok, since I disconnected battery cable the remote now not working, pain in the butt,

So the actuators are all fine, and the key remote works when it feels like it. I agree with Harry I'm afraid. I'm not sure who is close to you for a key repair but if you can do without the car for a few days there is a postal service offered by the experts here.
