:confused: Has anyone ever had any problems with there central locking. i.e.( when trying to open passenger door from the inside it won't open yet the drivers side works O.K.) Any suggestions on the cause or remedy. Cheers Trevor. :)

Is it just the inside handle that doesn't work Trevor. In the meanwhile, if there are suspicions over the locking motor, its a very bad plan to superlock.

I had a similar problem a cople of years ago, it turned out to be a dodgy locking mechanism caused by water ingress, in the end I bought a second hand item from MGFC which has worked perfectly since. TimW

Anyway after i drove approx 20 miles home it all worked O.K. Wondered if it was worth changing the inside lock on that door???? :confused: Cheers Trevor. :)
