I’ve had a look and personally I thing its just too much trouble for a d.i.y because of the way the lock is. But if you can find a wrecked vh sle you can get the whole meconium from that and it would save you a lot of trouble. It will only be fiddley removing and fitting

its not that hard really. once you have the trim off (hope you dont really mean the door frame) you need to find a place for the actuator to fit, there are about 2 places they will fit so fiddle around. if you can hold out til next week ill put up some pics of where mine are. took a couple of hours to install. i found the wiring a bigger pain in the arse than the door locks.

yeah pretty much what he said ^^^ althought I found that I had to have a spring added to the front passsenger side to get it to work properly. Autobarn quoted me some ridculous price on central locking all because it was a VL lol supposedly makes them harder! But wasnt too painful. I could also post a pic of where my actuators sit too if that would help?

Only other thing is I couldnt get my anti-theft plates to fit back in after installing the central. But hey I can live with that!
