Say if I had a corsa with central locking and I swapped it for one that came off a car without central locking, would the boot still lock with the other doors? I.e. do they all have that wiring?

Ooh, good point Gregg! I also wish to know this.

Sorry, that wasn't much help to you.

I don't think it would be difficult at all, but the wires may need cutting as I'm not sure if all the connector blocks would fit through the hole in the tailgate.

You would be keeping your boot loom etc so all wires will be identical!

Just case of swapping your bit from one to the other!

As above, just swap over everything from your tailgate on the new one, not a hard job,

Just make sure you string or something similar otherwise your be trying to thread the loom back through for about 3 years

Providing you keep your boot loom, then all you need to do is swap boots over.

Cheers all

I'll be buying a new boot with no loom so I'll use mine and then use the spoiler off my own or something

should be easy enough to put a loom in even if there isnt one in the new one. you will also have to swap the locking mechanism over too

Failing that, just pick up the boot lock wires on the car and feed some round the boot. Did that with Kirstys 10sex!
