Title: central locking
Post by: Toledodude1973 on 04 May 2012, 21:57:59: The central locking started playing up by not opening the drivers door ,this was overcome by using key but now after a couple of weeks its started working properly opening all doors.Is this the motor in the drivers door or something more central ? Cant believe its going to keep working :any advice please

Possibly lack of lubrication around all the levers & rods of the door lock mechanism, using the key has helped free it up. Try removing the door car & liberally spray all moving bit with chain lub. :y :y

But refering to lube...what was that stuff you sprayed on my rear window, Jamie....its worked perfect since :y
If you remember, it kept bouncing back down when it got three quarters of the way up.

I'd probably use a oil based lube on the mech. Your window would have had a 'dry' lube
