Default Advice please

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows of any good auto electricians in central Scotland or has any ideas.

Im assuming its an electrical fault but just to explain: My central locking has started locking/opening on its own after ive punched the alarm code in to enable ignition. If i open the door and close it again it stops (drivers side), and when locking the car i have to use the key instead of the central locking as it refuses to do it without setting the alarm off.

Cheers, Scotty

Ps the turbos misfiring when the engines still pretty cold but goes away after about 5mins of driving, any advice on that would also be appreciated!

Sounds like an earth on your locking circuit. As for the missing when cold, are your plugs gapped correctly, how old is the dizzy cap/rotor arm? Have you tried changing the ballast resistor?

Cheers!
