Hey all,

In the past 2 or so days the most annoying problem of all has been happening.

Basically when I unlock the car the door locking stub thing on the drivers side doesnt always pop up as high as it should, so I have just been putting the key in, and turning it to the right which then raises it the few cm's so its unlocked.

Now when I unlock/lock the car sometimes the drivers stalk thing barely moves either way, likes it getting stuck, the only way to fix this is by locking/unlocking the car several times.

Any ideas?

I will have to overhaul my c/l system in the new year as the locks are getting "sticky" in operation, so is there one solenoid per door or a unit central, if so where is it please Mark? :-? :-?

Lizzy it's one solenoid per door, and sits behind the door catch directly underneath the little rod that pops up on the door card.

There's a how too on the maintainence section - tunnie to thank for this one, dead easy to follow!

Oh and Rasta, talk to your uncle marky mark very nicely, and i'm sure you'll get one for less than the 60 odd quid from the the mainsquealers.

Thanks all

I'll get about getting the part, and attempting this myself.

When I have had this problem in the past, a good spray with penetrating oil (having removed the door card) has done the trick.
