1. central locking is not working properly - locks from cobra alarm fob fine but wont unlock, drivers door wont unlock by key either(pain in the ass) so leaning over to let myself in everytime, motors???? how easy to get at if it is likely to be them?

2. steering column - can feel some side to side play in the steering column, sure it's something simple, but worries me what i might have to remove to get rid of the movement, any ideas???

BTW it's a '92 LWB TT Jap

1. It uses a sinmple cable operation from the lock to the inner door handle lock. The cobra alarm will use a solenoid motor with a rod to pull the cable when you unlock the car, but they can require a bit of adjustment to make sure it pulls the cable properly. Best thing to do is take the door card of and see why its not pulling the cable properly. They have probably disconnected the outer door lock when fitting the cobra solenoid.

 

2. Check the steering column bolts under the dash are tight.
