• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8i Mk1 Central locking problems 22 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Hi folks - I've got a central locking issue with my Mk1 (1999) 1.8i Focus Zetec - here are the symptoms : Remote locking/deadlocking - locks all doors except driver's door, then all automatically unlock immediately. Remote unlocking (all doors locked) - unlocks all doors except driver's door. Manual locking and unlocking (driver's side) - locks and unlocks all doors as normal. Manual deadlocking (driver's side) locks all doors, however driver's door can be opened from inside and unlocks all others (this shouldn't be possible) Manual locking (passenger side) - locks all doors except driver's door, then all automatically unlock immediately.

• Kia Picanto - Kia Picanto 2017 (Mk2) SE Auto - Creep very slow 3 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  I have recently purchased a 2017 Kia Picanto (mark 2) automatic. I find that when I try to move off in Drive the creep speed is extremely low if its there at all. I have to use the accelerator to move off. I briefly queried this with my local Kia dealer when the car was in to have a door seal fixed and they said it was a 'safety feature' for this model and year of car.
