Default Re: Changing central locking pump?, other parts may need?

Also is it worth buying anymore parts(any common faults to prepare for?) whilst I'm buying the pump?....slowly but surely getting there with everything & the pump may never go but just being cautious really.
So far not spent a great deal fixing things & enjoy driving the car so very happy, just want to get it to a point where in my mind I'm as near as 100% happy with it then I can stop being a nauseating *** on here & in life & just well......drive
The doors lock after you reach a certain speed, this is quite normal.
To get the foam blocks out the trim that rests on the foam has to be removed.
