Well, the connector plug underneath the driver's armrest central lock/unlock switches was hanging down a bit - took it out, cleaned it and pushed it back in - lo and behold normal service has been resumed. Thanks Pond for pointing me at connectors - I was thinking perhaps one of the cables in the loom where it bends to pass into the door might have fractured and being horrified about how I would (or probably would not) find it!

Thanks for that. Are the central locking connectors distributed around the car at each door, or is there a central point? I've never managed to discover where the receiver for the remote fob signal is located - might that be the central connection point for the central locking? If you know what I mean.

It's a 2004 Arosa S - great little car, but a locking problem. I first noticed when using the remote fob that sometimes it would lock/unlock, then sometimes not. New battery in the fob, of course, but no difference. I then started using the key instead of the fob which was fine for a while, but although it always opens, most if the time it will only lock the driver door, not the boot or passenger door. Summer's coming and I need to leave stuff in the car overnight - where should I start looking? Any advice gratefully accepted.
