The lock is probably gummed up. That's quite common and likely to be a separate issue to the central locking. I showed how to strip it down in Vera's workshop thread.
The central locking could be a vacuum leak - thats also quite common. Is the pump running for longer than normal? |

A couple of hours later, I went out to the car, scanned it and got two errors relating to the central locking. One was the boot alarm and the other was the central locking pump over-running. Did some Googling, went outside, unlocked car and then locked it again with my ear to the boot lid, and I could hear the vacuum leak. From the symptoms, it's either the boot vacuum locking mechanism or the tubing has perished where it attaches. Not had a chance to confirm which as yet.
