Clio Central Locking   
Hello,

Anyone out there have any idea where the central locking unit is on a 
Clio 172 x reg? The symptoms are:
Pressing the button on the key does nothing (led flashes ok)
Mechanically locking the drivers door works ok, passenger door and boot 
don't lock.
Pressing the door locking button inside the car locks everything.
Mechanically locking the passenger door wont work lock seems jammed

I've googled for a similar prob but came up with nothing.

Thanks for your input

Tony

I have a 98 Clio which uses infra red from the key fob, you have to aim
the key fob at the windscreen because the receiver for the infra red is
just above windscreen level by the rear view mirror.
Could yours be the same ?
