retrofit of central locking in 110

All,

I have a Y reg 110 and one of the very few things I miss in it is the central locking (so useful with kids). Has anybody looked at retro fitting one from a more recent 110? What kind of work and price does that involve?

Cheers,

Fred

there are plenty of cheap diy kits about from around £20 for 2 doors and not stupidly hard to fit

they developed a retro-fit central door locking system.

Crikey - a massive price difference to the Maplin item suggested by the previous poster.

Especially since the two pictures are the same... On the other hand, maplin seem to only offer the 4 door version...

P.S. Thanks for all the answers.

I liked the quote in the FAQ :-

A) Yes it can be used on a two door car.(just leave the two wire motors in the box)

mind you the price of additional motors is a touch steep I wonder if they would replace the Landy oem units without modding

just get a supply of door trim clips before you start. Have you fitted one yourself? If yes, how did you pass the wires into the doors? Also, my manual actuators are fairly stiff. Are the motors powerful enough? In fact, are they actual motors? How do they fit around the in place mechanical components? Would anybody have a manual for it?

Cheers,

Fred

I would think they would be electrically operated soleniods

Sorry Fred I still have that job to do on my disco last car I did CL on was an XR3i and the fault was caused by a dimwit welding part of the loom ( not recommended ) I gave away the spares when I sold the car. I've wired a few door speakers and usual way is drill and grommit the door and feed a wire through the a pillar coiled up to allow it to flex without damage ( wrap 5 or more turns round a pencil to make the coil ) you could probably get a rubber boot to keep it looking neat similar to the one on the disco like this

try a radio fitting specialist. The motors are pretty tough and will be pulling the lock mechanism not the external handle linkage the ones I've fitted just clip on to the internal handle linkage.Derek

Any idea if this will work on the older two part doors (I have a 1984

110 on an 'A' plate)

Can't see why not have a look at Richards post lower down, you may have to drill a small hole in the lock switch to clip to but it seems to be do-able Derek Derek

What I thought about passing the wires to the doors. Not very clean.

Unfortunately, the gromit to "hide" the wires is not easily applicable to defenders because of how it's done. You can't easily go directly through the metal because the only bit accessible is the steel frame and it is right against the door surrounds when the door is closed. So it has to go through the lining and is then sticking out a bit. The ideal would be to have the same thing that holds the gromit on the back door. At least mechanically (and electrically) it looks easy enough.

Cheers,

Fred

Hmmmm... they say they developed te unit themselves especially for use with a defender. Looks like they just order standard items elsewhere and sell them at a slightly higher price. Sorry I didn't notice that. Just for the records, I'm not in anyway linked to this company :-)!

Or they indeed developed the product and sell it at a low price in large volumes to people like maplin.

Thinking a bit more about it, I wonder how these actuators can be linked to the rear door lock since it's all a single block. However, the British4x4 page does say it works even for that door! Any idea?

at £22 for a kit - I'd guess the easiest research would be to just do it :)

Back issue of land rover world has an article of how to fit central locking to a defender (14th one down):

Well, the £22 kit does not include a 5th actuator and an extra one costs about £9, but you are right, and I'll probably do that when I've got time.

Cheers,
