Right. ive done some phoning round and gotten prices for the fitting of remote central locking.
Ive been quoted from £80 up to £100.
Does that price seem fair, or am i having my eyes ripped out?
I havent got the knowledge/patience/time to do it myself so i am going to have to eventually pay someone.
If that does seem a bit much, and anyone knows of anyone who could fit r/c/l in a 99 corsa, that already has c/l in the Sunderland/ Newcastle area then it would be much appreciated.

Its a piece of piss. All you need is an RCL interface from a company like Microscan which links into you're existing central locking unit and hey presto.
I fitted an alarm and central locking kit from microscan and the alarm controls the lockling, plus gives options like auto arm/lock and anti hijack. I fitted everything including door motors (4 of them cos its 5 door) and the alarm in two days on/off. Not taxing at all.

Not if its just an interface, all those functions are on the alarm not the CL interface

If you have an alarm interfaced into the CL its the remote keyfob for the alarm that does the locking/unlocking aswell as arming the alarm etc.
