My daughter has an astra, which has central locking by the key, not remote. A strange thing is happening to it. About 1 time out of 10, the drivers door lock won't work. The key won't turn, it feels solid, I won't force it. After all, it's an M reg car, you expect a bit of stuff going wrong.
This bit isn't the thing that's confuzzling me though. I simply go round to the passenger side and lock it from there. But this is the thing. whereas normally the key turns, the buttons go down and that's the end of it, when locking from the driver's side has failed[1], locking the passenger door needs doing twice. The first time, the key turns, the buttons go down, then they pop up again. The second time the key is turned, they go down and stay down. Anyone else had this?
[1] and only when. Sometimes I just lock it from the passenger side and it's perfectly normal.Steve
