Central locking failure
« on: 12 September 2007, 13:57:37 »
I've got a theory that says the front passenger door solenoid is the one that fails most frequently.

I agree, it generally does appear to be drivers one....  ...have heard of odd passenger one failing, but the ones I've heard of, its been total failure, not the intermittent nature of drivers...
