i have a phase one gti6. well i think its a phase one. has the chunkier phase 2 style IR keyfob. but the bodywork is phase1, reg is p202 eut (nearly spells peugeot if you squint) its a work in progress

anyways, as this car has been sat on my drive for a while every now n then i recharged the battery to get the remote central locking working so i could get in there and tinker.

about a week ago i put her on ramps under her own power without a hitch.
i ripped out all the aircon pipes, condensing rad, receiver, left the pump in as i didnt have the smaller belt n idler. i locked the car up remotely called it a day and intended to do more the next day. i.e. the interior aircon rad and use the freed up firewall holes to fit cable for a battery relocation.

next few days, battery was flat so i charged it up again and nothing is happening with the central locking anymore. i tried the good battery off my other 306, and the remote locking is still dead. the key fob is still blinking

whats really annoying is as i dead locked it remotely i cant use the key to unlock any doors :s

any ideas what i could of buggard up or how to get in there?

thanks

james

dont i feel like a dingleberry. i just ragged the lock a little further and it unlocked itself. this didnt however activate the central locking and unlock any other doors or the boot :s

then the alarm went off when i opened the door:s it stayed on through entering the keypoad code and starting the engine. i cant seem to turn the alarm off. if i wait about 3 mins it turns off but as soon as the motion detector senses something (me) its back on blazing again. ive had to disconnect the battery.

i have a feeling my sun roof has leaked and moving my car from facing uphill on my drive to slightly downhill has meant water has seeped into the locking box under the driverseat?

how much is a new box? are they car/phase specific types? i think i might need one if the airing cupboard doesnt fix this one

thanks for your help so far guys
