Default auto lock

should the doors on my 2003 club se cdt lock automatically at speeds over 5mph they dont. according to the handbook this option can be selected or deselected by a rover dealer. Any help will be appreciated.

You need the services of someone with the magic T4 computer to enable or disable such features . Member MarinaBrian is in Newcastle if that helps , but I don't think you will find many Rover dealers about ! I don't know if Xpart dealerships offer T4

ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE

Yes Colin, I can turn Speedlocking on for you if you really really insist

Drop me a PM with a contact number, and I'll show you what other annoying functions (and not so annoying ones ) can be done with T4

What the heck is bathrobe locking, is it to stop your bathrobe flying open in the wind?

Is it connected to 'Single Point Entry'?

This is a really annoying feature and one I'd love to have turned off.
But when Sean/Col tried at the Polegate meet last year they couldn't switch it off - they thought maybe it was something to do with marinabrians 160 remap.

I'm one of the odd bods who actually like my doors to lock on drive away.

Trikey kindly did it for me on request, and I didn't see him cringe.

First had it on my Merc 'A' Class and then on two Skodas.

The only problem I have with the 75 is that unlike my other cars, the doors don't unlock on turning off the engine which means I have to resort to pressing the centre console switch or pulling door handles twice.

Allows you to have one set of keys in the car engine running to warm it up while locking the car with your second key.
