The central locking (not Remote) on my 180C has become unreliable and will not all ways lock and can take up to 10 time plus before it will finally lock all the doors. But will all ways unlock without a problem. Can someone please help as it is driving my wife mad?

Hi macmeaden,
Welcome to the forum
This is really a topic for the electronics section.

To answer your question, it sounds like you may have a leak in the vacuum lines that operate the central locking? Can you hear any hissing type noises when the central locking struggles to lock? AFAIK, the system is designed to use a vacuum to lock the doors and release to atmospheric pressure when unlocking the doors. I think maybe one of the lines has become loose or developed a leak and that's affecting the whole system. If you do a forum search on 'central locking' or 'vacuum' that should throw up past posts on the subject.
Hopefully one of the other guys can offer more advice as I am sure one member here has fixed his leaky central locking system.
