Today when nipping into b&q i pulled into the carpark and noticed the sound of the doors locking it did it about 10 times in quick sucession but the door unlock buttons near the handle didn't move

Only can think some sort of interference such as large electric power pillons overhead or something was on the same frequency of the car

only key in the car was in the ignition so I couldn't be catching the button Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Powerlines, mine does it when you have the boot open

you get the same unlocking sounds as if the cars trying to continuously open/lock?

It is a major pillon as Ferrybridge power station is just down the road


Even so it should really do this......  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I was driving under some pylons today no problems ( this year the combine driver missed them...always a bonus )

No offence pinksy, but I think you're cursed! Either that or your car is posessed... You have THE most prone to wierdness and failure FL2 I've ever seen!

Here was me thinking my flaky exhaust paint (now fixed) and beeping when wet parking sensors (not fixed ) were bad, but jeez!  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

how do i work out what day my car was made  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

you already know

most likely on a Friday afternoon by a bloke who just got the sack for dodgy work and was blind in one eye and went by the name of Mr Beelzebub Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

06/06/06. Bound to be! 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

we should open up a topic to see who has the most unreliable FL2 on here (should be plenty of entrants!)

Would be interesting all right. Mine is a 57 plate XS. Nothing really bad but very annoying:

Sqeaking gear shift - fixed.
Rear suspension clonk - fixed.
No start when button pressed - fixed
buzzing interior mirror - replaced but still buzzez - my fix is an elastic band round housing.
Various trim rattles - not fixed
Passenger seat belt rattles (mainly when wife is in seat???) - stuffing a cloth between seat and buckle stops it.
Gear lever gaiter replaced - was 'perishing'
Fuel consumtion average of 34 (manual). 1st car I've had which can't get the 'book'average.

Dealer has been good but will be swingingly expensive so I need to find a good independent in central Scotland - any ideas?

I don't recall that I ever did get to the bottom of it, but on that car I did have the rear boot switch replaced, but not sure if it was after this, Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
