Which door locks or do they all lock? did u fit it yerself? Possibly a lose connection shorting out the switch that operates the locks. Could be a faulty solenoid. Take yer door cards off and wiggle/tap the switch/solenoids to see if anything happens.

When I try and open the doors, both open but the passenger side vibrates as if theres a cog missing or something. How do I sort said vibrating or unplug central locking :?: :?: :idea: :?: :?:

Thanx :D

Make sure your solenoids aren't loose, tighten up the brackets.

Some old solenoids make nasty noises anyway. I had an old volvo one that sounded like that, worked fine though

ok just after reading this an taken note of the bt about fitting it ya self.
how hard is this to do to a 13SR?
jus outa intrest?

its easy. I have a 1.2 mk2 and fitted GM central locking from a GSi - went in no bother. The holes are already there in the doors. If u want it remote u will need another solenoid for the drivers door and an alarm with remote arm/disarm keyfob.

The holes are not already there! I had to drill two holes, one in the car door and another in the actual shell to allow the wires to pass though into the car to be connected up to the live, and also to connect the two solenoid wires together. Fitting it is a piece of piss, the only "hard" bit is drilling four big holes in your car (2 per side). :wink:

the holes are there

my brown y reg 1.2 had them (including the boot one!!)

have to admit the holes were there behind the door card to support the solenoid but there were no holes for the wires - so I had to drill through door skin and through body skin of car.

the holes in the door and pillar are marked with a pressed dot
