Legality of anti hijack central locking systems - Legal or not?
mad-dog replied to tentonhammer's topic in General Car Chat
mine auto locks when the engine is running for about 30 seconds the door will not unlock until either i turn the engine off or i hit the unlock button it passed its mot like that this year ( and i aasume every other year its a pain as i have to make sure the window is open or i leave the door open if i get ouyt and leave the engine running for any reason why should it be illegal?after all its a safety feature if you have an accident the engine will stopor be stopped and unlock anyways as for a broken handle i spose they consider the fact that if you are not coherrent after and accident they should be able to get you out? still its a classic case of put a uniform on some people and they become little adolfs ( no offence intended to anyone just my terminology) -

the passenger side door handle decided to give up on me last night( from the look of some of the forum subject this is quite common) so i spent a couple of hours retumbling the locks as have never had a key that fits the doors got the new handle on the passneger side just got to fit the new barrel on the driver side next and then fit the new ignition and boot lock along with the rest of my to do list :)

love my raddo, it costing me money to sort it but i dont care she is worth it. yes i get p****d off sometimes and my daughter doesnt like the colour, but ask her shall i pick you up in the golf or the raddo and the raddo wins 8 of 10, would i sell her simple answer is no, would i like not to have to spend money fixing her the answer is yes :) money is tight but then i get in her fire her up and the throaty little roar makes me think oh yes :) my other half loves her although she thinks the colour is a little OTT and she doesnt understand the polish her concept (yet) long live the raddo !!!

must say i agree :) but its your car bude do as you see fit :)
