I had the same problem with mine, it's a nightmare! WD40 worked with me and has been fine ever since, from what i've heard it is a fairly common problem. Something in one of the locks gets stuck (mine was the passenger door) and because the one lock won't work, the central locking won't let you lock the rest of the car. It must just be dirt and grime that's worked it's way into the lock and because the key is rarely used it eventually sticks the parts of the lock together. Give the WD40 a generous squirt in every lock, then one by one go to every lock with the key and lock then unlock over and over again. Good luck!

jame5 you star!! I just sprayed my locks out with WD40 as you said and locked/unlocked a good few times, and tada!! At least it's working for the moment, so I will keep an eye out.

On the subject of central locking, anyone know why it would suddenly stop working via the key fob? My button on the dash to lock the doors stopped working at the same time, along with the rear window demister. Ive checked all the fuses and theyre all fine, anyone have any ideas?? Its driving me mad having to lock the doors one at a time!! Sorry Biggenz dont mean to hijack your thread it just all the same topic, Laura

Enjoy the car mate! Very sad to see it go and yes Gary I would have kept it a lot longer if it weren't for my impending trip!

You brought paid the right price for the right car!

The Coupe is very photogenic!
