91 1.1 central locking problem (2 door) - finestfunster
Hi I've recently bought an ax 11 tre. (I Love this litlle car)! but somtimes when I unlock the door it instantly locks again. you can hear the central locking working. If I quickly undo the door handle whilst unlocking I can open the door but the central locking continues to switch on and off a few times afterwards until I guess it gives up. but the passenger door remains locked. This is an intermitant problem. I should also mention the passenger door has been replaced but all lock parts are original. Please help!

Just an update and future reference fo anyone else with this problem.
After stripping the drivers door and finding nothing wrong, I found that the problem was in the passanger door latch. When the door latch was open everything work perfectly but when the door was closed the problem existed. Rather than stripping door I sprayed the door latch in every place I could get to with wd40.... Problem solved. Maybe only temporary but now I know where to look in future.
