i bought my car a year ago (worst decision of my life so far) and when i bought the car the locks started bouncing a few days after i bought it. i thought no big deal because it would usually lock after 2 or 3 attempts. now they no longer lock at all when using the key fob they just bounce. the only way to lock the car is to lock the drivers door first then the passenger door with the key then they stay locked. if i do passenger first then drivers door they will bounce. i have noticed my drivers door is out of alignment very slightly so i think it was broken into not to mention the spray job done on the door. when you lift the handle on the drivers side the door opens itself a bit so the hinge must be bent.
any idea what would need replacing and on which side of the car, driver or passenger side. how easy is it to do the work myself if it is the solenoid or motors on the central locking? cheers

hi mate one of your lock actuators/motors is fuked, its not sending the signal to the other door, thats why its bouncing.
if you lock the passenger door eith the key and it doesnt lock any other doors exept itself then that motor is fucked as its not sending the signal.
if you lock drivers door using the key and it locks and the other dorrs lock but then bouce that means the drivers door is ok as the motor is sending the signal.
if you say one of the doors is bent? try leaning on the door so its tightly closed and try the central locking then, cos it may think that the door is open in whitch it will bounce, if the locking works wen u lean on the door then the dorr will jus need adjusting,
changing the actuator/motor is a peice of piss job,
u'll be able to do it youself!
you may have to do sum wiring modifications tho is sum ned motros come with diffrent connecters.
hope this helps
