nivag27 5 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I went to my corrado and pressed the thob button and the alarm beeped once as normall but the locks did not open, except the boot. So in I climbed unlocked the doors and tried to start the car. Turned the key and click, but nothing else, then the alarm goes of, cant turn it off then it stops, so I bumped the car to start it which it did but the central locking still does not work, everything else does any ideas please.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 does the central locking work if you use the key in the drivers door rather than using the fob ? as that might be faulty ? Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 yeah something stupid most likely also I have found with cars in the past it depends how regularly you drive them affects the battery life quite a lot - how new does it look ? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I need to change mine as its been on car as long as ive had it, takes time to start as well. Not on first turn like it used to do Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well it looks fairly new but who knows, when I get it going I can then drive to the garage so they can change the fly wheel and then tell which bushes need to be changed and then when all thats sorted it mihgt be ok.
