Doors wont open properly

oldpeopledoittoo · 1st December 2008, 18:47

I dont know if anyone has this problem, when i unlock the car (turning the key clockwise twice) sometimes the back doors dont open properly. The door pins dont seem to come up properly. I have to turn the key about five times clockwise in the drivers side door to get them open.
Any ideas? Is it just me?

A large number of 75s (maybe most) seem to suffer from this. Most users operate the remote unlocking and just press the button an extra time.

Your battery might be a little low.

i use the little tube provided with the can of wd40 and push it far down the door pin
seems if the back doors aren't in continuous use - like the front doors - they have a
tendency to misbehave
