    Help with locking needed

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    Started a thread about the boot lock earlier in the week, can someone please delete that one please?

    Both my boot and my rear passenger door have stopped working with the central locking at the same time. The boot lock does cycle faintly on pressing the unlock button and is permantly unlocked. The door is deadlocked. Both stopped work at same time. Ive checked wiring and afaik its fine, the door control unit is also fine. Is there a loom anyway that links the rear door/doors and boot lock?

    As i stated i gave them a level of back chat however this was after they had given me a whole load of unnessary verbal. I didnt argee with how they treated me from the off and if it was a normal member of the public speaking to me like that well...

    I dont mind been pulled over, the first time in march once the officer had done his checks he was pleasent enough but these two this morning wouldnt let up, they had it in for me and id done nothing wrong.

    I suppose the point of this thread was to see what others have done in similiar situations not to cause a who did what arguement :)

    I'd agree wholeheartedly, but from past experience of Rochdale's rozzers, some tke it upon themselves to judge who should be driving what car and if they don't feel it's not right, you will have more than one chat with them by the roadside.

    Ive noticed this myself. I take it your from rochdale?

    Gwilo, both times ive been pulled on halifax road smallbridge/wardle area where i live. Technically the pull this morning was on my street 30yrds from my door but they saw me on halifax road both times.

    Just to make it clear i have no problems with any police force in general, i even applied to be a police officer a few years back. ive been pulled before on the motorway while leaving the services, once they confirmed i was the owner and checked my tyres i was on my way and some car based banter between me and the officer, no problems. It was just these two this morning that had a serious problem with me.

    If theres a marker on my car surely a normal panda van doesnt have anpr? As neither times ive been pulled have been by traffic officers and i doubt they can radio threw to control and get details in about 10seconds?

    Wow so many replies, as for the manner of my driving i was literally slowing to turn left in my estate, its a very sharp blind left so my speed was below 10mph, just as im about to turn i see the police van, didnt think nothing of it, as i slow for a speed bump after ive turned about 5seconds later its right behind me. I stayed sat in the car engine running until he came to my window just like last time i must of asked him 5/6 times why ive been stopped and that was giving him attitude, it was only when his partner got out the van was i told its a "routine stop" he did his check on me & the car, insurance etc... Then picked on me, when i told him i didnt know when i last had alcohol he thought i was been clever... But i dont know i drink about 4times a year, subject turned to drugs and so on.... Its just proper wound me up, there attitude stunk and i cant flaming sleep now.

    The previous owner lived almost 500miles away from me, i probably look like ive been on the drugs after a 10hr night shift, im sure that explains there bad attitude aswell however they are in a sector that requires them to be professional at all times.

    Big fan of the police and what they do etc... However since owing my vrs since febuary ive been pulled over twice while coming home from work in the morning, both times the officer says its for a routine vehicle check but have absolute terrible attitudes about them, there not traffic officers either. This morning while turning into my estate they were travelling in the other direction but stopped and followed me in and pulled me on my street, i produced my photocard licence but thats not good enough wheres the paper part, next up seat belt, yep i took it off to get out the car to talk to you officer, then his partner gets out the van, you insured, where do you live, you look like youve been on drugs.. Im getting the drugs dog down here.. WTF!!!

    The last time i was pulled it was the exact same thing, im seriously considering making a complaint this time, i did as they asked by producing my licence, i answered there questions and i only gave them some back chat after they started on there power trip.

    I realise this may cause some disturbance on the forum but in a way i feel like ive been singled out on both occassions as im 26 but look younger and im driving a lukewarm hatchback
