so im wondering if this is a normal or wether ive had someone in the past modify/tinker with the car.
this seems the more likely option as i bought the car and had to rescue it from lexus lights and the naffest rear spoiler amongst a few other things
break calipers, fooked paint etc etc etc
to set the scene, the cars been sat (angled upwards) on my drive for a while, the remote central locking worked perfectly, even after 3 or 4 completely flat batteries all id have to do is charge it up and everything was grand again.
i moved (under its own steam) the car onto ramps under the front wheels. so its now angled downwards on my drive.
i then central locked/deadlocked it all up. left it for a while, came back to the battery being flat again but this time after charging it the remote part of the central locking didnt work. replacing the battery with a working one didnt make the remote locking work either.
after finally getting in after thinking it'd permanantly locked me out (turned the key that extra undeadlock rusty click) and i got in. the central locking works. just not the remote part now.
also, to my annoyance, the alarm trips itself regardless of keys being in or ignition on/engine on.
the sunroof leaks so i assumed changing the car from facing it upward to facing it downward, meant the leak water has messed up the central locking box under the driver seat.
BUT ITS NOT THERE!!! hence me asking "is it a phase one or a two?" where else should i look, i still think its water damage but im unsure where to look. where are the central locking components located. i know that the IR reciever is in the roof centre console, but is the box i thought was under my seat hidden somewhere else on later models?
sorry bout the longwindedness of this post
any help would be appreciated
james
