right i got a 300tdi 3 door,,, none off the central locking works on it,, it must be open by a key all doors have,, any ideas what i can do to get it working again,,cheers

first check the fuses..
if it's not the fuse it could be the solanoids in the doors. Mine came with the same fault I did the following...
The passenger and rear door have two wire solanoids +earth so up and down . The drivers door has four up down and the signal wires for the other doors .(very basic description)
If you take the covers off the passenger and rear doors unplug the leads and use a bit of wire from a 12 volt battery up can activate them to see if they work if they do it may just be the drivers on has goosed terminals inside ...
a lot of cars use the same bits my drivers door solanoid was not making a conection to the rear or passenger wires (checked with a volt meter and wiring diagram) so I replaced it with one out of a much newer pug 407 it had the same mount but different colour wires trial and error until I found the right ones .
It's been on for four and a half years now without problems....hope this helps ... I know it dosn't sound technical but I just sort of fiddle with things until they work :lol: :lol:

my central locking was playing up and 2 of the actuators had seized up, I spent £20 in Maplins and got one of their multi car central locking kits, all I had to do was change the connectors
