hey all, i had a bit of a search, and it seems that my 2000 bzg should have central locking with a keyfob. however there is no keyfob with mine, so i lock the doors with the key. a strange thing happens tho... when the engine is on, the doors lock themselves. it seems like this happens after the car starts moving. the bad thing about it is, i dare not get out of the car with the engine on, unless i wind down the drivers window, for fear of locking myself out of the car. is there any way to disable this auto locking? thanks for reading, redd . |

This is a safety feature that happens when you put it in gear i think. I'm pretty sure it wont lock itself on the idle though. |

Has the car got an alarm system fitted? I know my other car has one that locks the doors once I pump the brakes. Just throwing it out there.

My alarm has a hijack system so if you turn on the engine and close the door within 5 seconds it locks the doors....whether you are in it or not. This happened a couple of times before so i always have a spare car key on my other set of keys |
