It's confession time ... Today I went back into the lower fuse area and took out the 30amp fuse where it had blown in the past and I had replaced it. I then reinserted the new fuse making sure that it was securely home, did a bit moe pressing home of all the contacts, etc and to my great surprise and joy - the central locking is now functioning as it should. I shall no doubt have to pay some kind of penance for wrongly accusing Toyota of possible malpractice and In future I tell myself to believe in people more than I do. As the hedgehog said, climbing off the hairbrush ... "Anyone can make a mistake!"

Oi !!! I heard that

just an update from my previous posts just back from the dealer and they replaced the timing chain and other components and now the car sounds perfect, i am so happy the problem has been solved thanks to all who helped

Tony, you are paranoid... you can't be serious: You mean like... Apple sending 'go slow' data in updates to old iPhones trying to get the owners to buy later models. (you can't believe that really happened; surely!) Or Microsoft sending code in updates to cripple old OS to make the owners by later versions of their OS. Or Samsung doing on-line updates to older Blu-Ray players that makes them in-operable (they did mine), then they can't be fixed, and when you complain, they advise you to buy a new one! Or Siemens digital controlled domestic appliances that stop working after a set time period. ...and that's only scatching the surface; gawd knows what else is being done that we don't even know about. (@^@) You need to relay your fears to... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories Or take 'Frostyballs# advice :) Anything that relies on digital data to operate puts you totally at the mercy of the writers of the source code of that data.... i.e. the manufactures. Software writers (manufacturers) will even leave 'time-bombs' in software so that at a given time it trips, then makes the hardware (or software) stop working or change its characteristics.
