Hi all,
I've asked this question before recently and didn't get an answer

Can somebody please tell me what the 3 wires in the central locking are for

They are black. blue . Green & white.

I want to wire up a remote central locking kit and don't own a multimeter.I have found out not to waste money on a flip out key as they don't do one for the bongo,even if the one supplied look the same and have the same reference no. as the original

Many thanks Dave

I'm sure there's a set of instructions in the members area for this?
I did mine about 4 years ago and long since forgotten.
PS How's the motor running?

Yup, there's a factsheet in the members area that shows the wiring.
You can get a cheap meter for a few quid, well worth the investment for faultfinding as well.
Re the flip out key did you get the same as these guys? -

Hi Graham,
The fact sheet doesn't list the wires used or if it does I cant read the writing on my print out

The head issue was sorted after 3 heads

The block was skimmed by the head suppliers and cured the issue

The final bill was reasonable and mr Taylor once again proved what a decent bloke he is to do buisness with

I'm colour blind and I couldn't read them either
Glad it all got sorted, he's a good lad that Mr Taylor
I keep on thinking of ringing him to tell ours is going ok but I don't want to tempt fate...
Thinking of running a mini meet at RAF Cosford - tempted? I've asked them for available dates etc. Should be a bit better for facilities than Tackeroo in the winter

Great, I will sort a date as soon as I hear from the museum.
I just had a look at the copy of the factsheet I download in July 2005
It's as per missfixit70 advice - you'll need a multi meter or a bulb holder and two wires, or pop up the A34 and use mine

unless you have factory fitted RCL then you dont have a motor in the drives door, so you accessing the vehicles wiring will only end in tears, configure your unit as direct motor control and add a motor to the drivers door, takes 30 mins.

Hi Julian,
Can you explain in simple terms please

I can't get the indicators to flash as yet

So adding a motor might be too much work for me

By motor he means actuator as described in the fact sheet. Easy enough to do, hardest bit is finding the right position to mount it & that isn't particularly difficult, it can just be a bit of a bloody knuckle job.

There's a top tip of cutting the clear plastic film and taping afterwards rather than disturbing the black sticky sealant (from hell).....too late?
