Central Locking not working

[Nova~Lolly]

dont quite know why but ever since my car has started running properly again-the central locking does not work.it did it the other day and andy reconnected it and it was fine-did it again last night so andy fixed it this morning and ive just got to work and cant lock my doors unless i climb through the boot and i am not about to do that at work.
any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how can it be fixed
appreciate anyones help
cheers

I have this problem on my SR.

I think its a sign that the actual central locking solenoid is on its last legs. The best thing to do is probably pop to a scrap yard and get a replacement. If your sly then you could pocket it and get away with some five finger discount. (Just for the record I dont condone stealing :wink: )

Saying that though it may be an electrical problem, loose wire or a break in a wire.

Best to wait and see if anyone else has some more advice.

i would say the same, mines fcuked right up but thats due to water getting into the central locking unit

carry round a long thin ruler with you, you'll still be able to get into it easy enough for time being

it works tho i had to do it to my old nova a few times lol

mine used to freeze. water used to get past the window seal and condensation used to build up, then on a nippy night they would freeze solid. i had to stick a hair dryer on the door for 10 mins or so to get it working!

because it wasnt a standard locking kit the link from the solonoid to the locking rod kept slipping aswell so sometimes i had to climb in the passanger side.
