Re: Central locking

there is a chance the model might not have central locking spec. If there are not terminals on the lock mech there is no motor to operate.

if there are dash wires, you'd be able to get a unit for the lock from another van

head swap 4d56

I'm going to put a head off a turbo 4d56t onto a non turbo 4d56 block. the non-t is blowing out the air cleaner and has lost power.
