hi all, is there any chance that one of you clever bongo fans out there might know why my central locking has stopped working?. i have to unlock and lock each door separately now for some reason, cheers. STE :D

Most likely the loom has failed where it passes between the A pillar and the driver's door.

Years of opening and closing cause the wire core to work harden and fail.

Easy fix, strip back insulation and solder in a short length of wire, cover with heat shrink.

Very common fail, and new looms can be bought but ££££ :(

It might Also be worthwhile checking the Fuses.

Good Luck.
