door locks

automatic response from Ryan Shaw: you will need to do 1 thing - find the correct news group! - ie alt.autos.NEWmini

i assume someone on that group will be bothered to help you. i suspect they will say take the car back to the extortionate dealer you bought the "car" from in the first place and they will be able to go into the management system and reprogramme and customise some functions

Hi Jim

Attach a piece of string between the gearshift lever and the locking switch on the dashboard.... a piece of gum helps here... simply putting the shift into Drive will pull the string and the dashboard switch will be operated to automatically lock the doors.

But seriously try the correct News Group Alt.Autos.NewMini etc etc

Jim, Visit your BMW dealer, he will do it in seconds, or wait until its due for service, and add it on to the job card, Fitzy
