Default Just fitted remote central locking

... to my 106.

It was this kit:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=230082712678

...And it was so difficult to fit! The instructions were just a wiring diagram (not a good one at that), and it said nothing about anything!

So, after 2 whole days of crafting, breaking, fitting, making, creating tools, screwing, threading, wiring and everything else, I (with the help of my old man) finally fitted it!

And I must say, me and my dad did it extremely well. We used the kit (which was a 4 door kit) in ways it was never supposed to be used (cutting wires apart to lengthen others etc), and it's perfect; not a wire in sight.

I might post some pictures on Tuesday if anyone's interested.

For £15, i'd recommend this kit to anyone who doesn't have central locking (if they have a spare couple of days).

And the key fobs include a place to put your key to make it a flip-out key =]

Anyway, recommended!

Lee

Well done slickshoes! It's nice & satisfying to get a job done and working properly.

My wife has decided that she doesn't like cleaning cars its not good for her skin!
