Recently i had a problem with locking the car. To start with the locks would bounce twice and on the third attempt lock however when i returned to the car a while later it was unlocked. My car will lock now but randomly unlocks itslef! This is a big problem as i know its locked when i leave it however when i return its unlocked itself!!!!!!!
please somebody any ideas?

Thanks for the reply... just as a sort of heads up - how much did it cost you?

Try to identify the side which is malfunction. Try to spray some wd-40 into the lock MECHANISM first, it might solve your probelm if your lucky. If still not working you will need to replace the door lock MECHANISM.

It shlould be half an hour job taking the door panel then replace the lock MECHANISM. Had the same problem with my 206, problem solved since i replace the lock.

ive seen this on other cars. You lock it, locks. Come back in the morning and all the doors are open!
Definitely the solenoid. probably about £10 for a solenoid from a scrappy and you can fit it yourself

Thanks for all you help guys, I appreciate it! Also thanks for the link and for the description and it looks like I can save myself a small fortune by doing it myself.
Cheers!

Just thought I would let you guys know how i got on....
After accidently slamming the door the other day it has stopped bouncing when i try to lock even though it was stilling randomly unlocking.
It has been a couple of days now and it doesn't bounce and I haven't found its unlocked itself so It seems like it might have sorted itself! I just hope that if it does unlock itself I will find it and not someone else...
thanks anyway
