Weird, Toads normally leave the door locking alone when they are re-powered up, mine does anyway, all I can think is put the doors in the state you want locked/unlocked, disconnect the battery then reconnect it and see if that resets them to what you want?

Try disconnecting the battery but when reconnecting(after leaving 5 mins) make sure all the doors are shut and hold down/disconnect the bonnet switch, make sure also the interior light is not turned on.

I had a similar problem on my S1, and it was actually the central locking interface that was the problem. I could be going up the dual carriageway and it was locking and unlocking the doors randomly. Seemed to be worse in wet or damp weather.

You may have a stuck door lock or linkage if stuck in the lock mode it will unlock then immediately relock once unlock pulse has finished.

that sounds like one of the central locking solenoids bouncing to be fair, not an alarm fault,
if the alarm wasnt working it wouldnt lock and unlock the doors,
sounds like one of your cars locking solenoids is up the swanny.

What he ^^ said, usually one of the master linkages is sticky so one motor opens but the other doesn't the pulse times out and as the other lock is neither open or closed locks the doors again, lubricating the linkage will sort this problem.
