Have a look in the boot near the rear lights for disconnected hoses

to lock your petrol cap there's a looped rod behind the carpet near the cap. push it towards the front of the car to lock it and then the other way to underlock when u need to fill up :)

thanks people
all seems to be conected and i have power to the pump in the boot but where is the sender unit to the pump as im guessing its been disconnected by some idiot inthe past and with regards to opening the boot everytime i want to fill up, to much likehard work need the easy life..... ;D

did it work before?
sometimes the factory central locking is made immobile by companies fitting remote alarm systems.
if your pump/solenoids are knacker ive got a set for sale
-
so what are you saying for the pump and stuff cos i need these doors to unlock and lock when asked let me know
cheers
;Djay
also central locking has never worked since i got the car so i'm working to a process of elimination

40quid the lot ok ?

if the pump is working and the hoses are all fine then it could very well me the master actuator in the drivers door. this is what sends the signal to the pump to start pumping. according to the bently manual the pump should only run for about 2 seconds before cutting off. Does it run when you turn the key to unlock?
-
The electrical sender that makes the pump energise is in the drivers door. It forms part of the normal locking mechanism and I would check it hasnt been removed and replaced with the alarm solenoid you describe. Take the door panel off and you should see it.
It has a power feed live all the time and two feeds back to the pump, one to lock and one to unlock.
Normal practise is to leave it in place and have the solenoid operate it so that it locks and unlocks the car as per normal.

thanks people i'll take the panel off this weekend and have a look , there is no naise coming from the pump so i'm guessing it has been disconnected from the drivers door key solinoid but i'll have a look and let you guys know
cheers again

Hi
I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
The drivers door works and sends a signal to the pump in the boot which just buzzes for about a minute (it stops buzzing if I open the boot), the petrol cap, passenger door and boot do not lock.
Also I cannot lock the boot using the key so maybe this is stuck/jammed and causing the rest to fail?
Does the boot pump send the signal to the passenger door and petrol cap? Or do I have another problem?
Thanks

well i'm stumped can't get the pump to work via the drivers door and it has been messed about with by the look ,the car has had a toad alarm fitted to it because i can only guess the original one went wrong, can anyone tell me where on the fuse box where the central locking enters and leaves, wire colours , a diagram could help. this is really starting to piss me off now as i am getting fed up with taking door panels off here and there and is there a test that i can do to see if the pump still works help help help f-in help >:(
