rover 75 cdt won't lock...
Hi, i was replacing front speakers and when i took the driver side door card out, i heard a beep and a small round plastic circle fell out. The circle looks like a coat button with a hole in the center.
Now the car won't lock, when i am trying to lock it ,it gives me one beep which probably indicates that the door isn't shut properly. The car won't lock manually as well...when inserting a key in the door lock, it twists to both sides but nothing happens. When pressing lock on the remote i can see that it tries to lock it, but something is indicating that the doors isn't shut. On board computer recognizes when the door is shut... The only way of locking it , is pressing the lock button from inside of the car and getting out from passengers side. Mileage display remans lit all times. Thanks for any help!!!!! |

Gintaras.
Not too sure what has happened to your door lock but from what you've said it would appear some aspect of the lock has broken off (or become dislodged) thus preventing the lock from being operated via the motors in the door, hence the beep sound when the car detects it cannot lock the door via the locking system. Hopefully someone will point you in the right direction soon enough as to what could have gone awry. |

Hi Simon,
i tried a new lock mechanism, and checked all the cables they work fine.... i can lock the car manually... but it locks only the drivers doors and still beeps. Where can i get the car checked ? as i run out of ideas.... |

Are you sure nothing else is open slightly?
Boot, Bonnet, Other doors or Sunroof. |

Try posting up a picture of the bit that dropped out, and if you add in your location, someone local to you may be able to assist you.

The bit about the mileage showing even with the key out, would tend to suggest something else is amiss, rather than the door itself. I can't identify the part you've shown - and it doesn't look like it'd be more complex than a shim or a washer for something (or perhaps even something dropped down the door at some point in its life).
I suppose it's possible the remote keyfob has just become 'de-synchronised' from the car. Long shot, but have you tried pressing either of the two buttons on the key FOUR times in quick succession (whilst holding the key in close proximity to the car, obviously)? That should re-sync them, if it has... I'm wondering whether the 'beep' occurred because you just happened to catch the locking-plate cable while the door was open, which would've triggered an attempt to lock the car - and of course, the door being open would cause a 'mislock' and the beep. From there - dunno - maybe somehow you shorted something, perhaps, and/or caused the key to lose sync? Certainly I can't explain why the loss of that tiny circle of plastic would've caused this - doesn't make sense...

They fasten two single thicknesses together, IIRC. Could therefore be holding anything in place, from holding the actual doorcard to the door pressing, to locating part of the locking mechanism. HTH Malcolm |

i believe that the problem is not in the remote.. as when i try to lock it manually it locks only the drivers side door and beeps.
in the first post i wrote that after i removed a door card i heard a beep, it was memory seat beep, i pressed couple of buttons while sitting. i just bought the car so i didn't know what sound memory seats makes . today i was locking the car from the inside by pressing the lock button near the gear stick, and it didn't lock+beeped, i tired few more times and it locked. I opened again and played with it few more times and sometimes it locked sometimes it didn't, when didn't it always beeped. can T4 recognise such fault ? can anyone recommend where i can check it ? i am based in surrey, but as i already mentioned i don't mind traveling. cheers |
