poooooo!!! today the passenger door not only would not open on central locking, but then i could not get the damn thing to open from inside 'solid'

outside with key and snap!!!!! the lock is busted big time, had to yank the key to get it out of the lock........

but!!!!........... now the door locks and opens perfect with the CL... so what broke???

i expect the linkage that joins onto the lock lever from the lock barrel has come off or broken

right no probs its a curtain eye hook for me then

have that fixed it a jiffy

My Fun's central locking has a day off or two a month. I'm not even joking! It literally takes 24 hours off and works perfectly the next day. The rest of the car functions as normal during this rest period. Any explanations dearest Skoda folks? Are Skoda's really part-organic?

try 'flicking' the lock with key ...... fast .... wait to fool it and hear a slight click after last turn

try again and all closes or opens i mean after flicking fast all stops to work!! be fast now.... a slight click can be heard then try again they will work. does for me ..... until;

or today...... broken passenger lock would not close quich flick and BUGGER!!!!!! locked as drivers door lock broke too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant get in now.... well can thorugh boot and have to fix one or both locks in the morning .... damn

fixed (bodged) the drivers lock. the facelift models are very different than previous. no quick fix..... and ran out of fingers too. very very tight and a lot more difficult than i imagined to get the lock out ..... and worse back in :(

the fix not as sustantial as i would have liked. the lock also lost its spring. so fine galvanised wire now kinda (gently) works for now. at least I can lock it anyway.

whilst inside the door i noted there was tons of gravel in the skin and very obvious signs of surface rust all over the place. not good!! how the hell can that much crap get up the drain holes?? i'm amazed.
