Does it make a noise like it's trying to unlatch?

James I unlocked the car first as you do.
No joy and no clicking from microswitch. Took advice from somebody else on forum to press lock and unlock on remote at same time and it'seems done the trick. Very Happy

If you need a new micro switch, which sounds likely. I bought one for a Ford focus for under a tenner. Exact match, just needed to cut the terminal off the end and connect the wires up. Thumbs Up
I can find the part no if your interested?
