Hi guys and gals, wonder if anyone could help me.
I have a 1.2 5 door punto in Spain, recently someone screw driivered the drivers side look lock and got in the car, it's quite common for this to happen on older cars so rather than replacing the door lock etc I just removed the door panel and then removed the bar from the lock to the locking mechanism so the actual lock will do nothing and I used the central locking to open and lock the car, hope that all makes sense so far!
All was well for many months but now the central locking won't lock the car, when I press the button on the key the car locks the opens, all the doors are closed when this happens. I have had the door card off on the drivers side but can't see anything obvious, I would be really grateful if anyone know what the problem could be as I can't lock the car at all now!
Thanks in advance,
Barry
