interesting collection of problems you have there....

first thing to check: take off the door trims and have a look at the mechanisms. see if something is jammed/ rusted/ broken.

has the previous owner(s) ever had the keys changed? does the key you have work in the boot?

from what i have found, there are 2 types of key. the normal key (unlocks all doors and boot, starts car, locks glove box) and the valet key (only unlocks doors and starts car).

maybe something got switched or replaced at some point?

how long have you had the car/ this issue?

Ok well ill take off the door trims tonight after work. How much would a new locking system cost roughly?

and im pretty sure the keys havent been changed or swapped because it works in the boot and glove box, ive got a feeling its just the actuall central locking or just the inside the door thats the problem because it sort of slips when i try to lock the door and doesnt catch on so hopefully its nothing too major, i just want to know a price really.

Thanks heaps.

how worn is your key? do you have multiple keys?

i noticed with mine, i only have one key (which turned out to be the valet key so i can't open the boot >.< ) and it was well worn and therefore not always working in the driver's door, but worked fine in the ignition barrel.

got a new key cut for like $10 and it works better in the door, but only a certain way up.

no idea on a new lock. if it is the central locking system/ the motor drives for the central locking, you can pick up new sets fairly cheap from any auto place.

also, get your good friend Mr. WD-40 to help you. spray the crap out of the mechanism see if that helps.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
