Central locking locking then unlocking on saph cossie
Do you know which door is doing it?
If you can hear the motor(s) trying then it is likely that the door locking mechanism or the barrel is a bit dry
Try: Syraying shit loads of WD40 into the door barrels and all locks (in the door shut) and report back

Pain in ass central locking
Could be the metal wires that go from the door handle to the lock/barrel are tight/need greasing,take the door cards off and use spray grease on everything that moves relating to the locking
Could be the wires have broken down in the grommet where they pass from pillar to door,this is what had happened to mine
The electrics are a funny set up on the central locking,can't for the life of me remember how it is though
Think the wires that go to the central locking motor change from an earth to a live,so this either holds the lock closed,or open IIRC
Took me ages to sort mine with the test lamp and a couple of pieces of wire,one to earth the other to the positive on the battery

Just thought,the door cards were off as the front end had a freshen up paintwise and the locks were taken out i wonder if something just needs tightening back up.
Thanks for the replies.
