1, the central locking sometimes wont work on the key fob

2, i got 1 tappet from what i can hear from when cold she is ok gets hot and she is tapping like a gooden,

3, i cleaned the icv the other day as the revs keep sticking really high and when she is idleing the revs will go up and up till about 1500 rpm touch the pedle and she will drop back to normal,,

4, the trip computer was woking fine when i brought her about a month ago since then the lcd went all funny if it had a earth fault and now it does not even come on now,,

Your central locking could be a couple of things, duff batteries in the fob, car battery getting knackered, or it could be the wiring in the tailgate. Mine sometimes refuses to open on the fob and I have new batteries, if I unlock the tailgate with the key the fob then tends to start working again.

hello mate your is the same as mine the lights just flash and nothing happens then unlock the tailgate all works fine never mind a,,, i found out why the revs were going up it was the little pipe by the thermostat it had a lovely little split in it all done now and the tapping has slowly gone away now which makes very happy thanks for all your help people!!
