Missing Lincs, your "stab in the dark" proved to be absolutely fantastic guess. I have removed audio control unit near steering wheel and it cured the problem. Now both buttons hazard and salon central locking works absolutely flawlessly at any time.

The culprit is in the picture ;) .

So now I need to source similar unit and that set!

Thanks to everyone for help and contribution! :D

Regards.
Great news on finding the problem.

You can't (I couldn't) find one separately, I purchased a used complete unit to rob for parts :)

Nice to be able to help. It's one of those things with fault finding, if nothing appears to be wrong with the part that isn't working, look either side, above and below. Your error code gave me the clue.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:
