Hello all,
So Ive just purchased my first Defender a 2002 90. So far its going great but locking the doors is driving me insane.
It was previously a real farm vehicle which never got locked and only came with 2 keys one that dose the ignition and passenger door but doesn't seem to work on the rear door and drivers side - maybe because the locking mechanism is stiff? Both doors are a bit beaten up. And the other key doesn't seem to do anything at all!?
So currently I can only lock / unlock the drivers and rear door from inside the car then climb out the passengers and lock / unlock using the key outside.
Ideally I would like to fit remote central locking for all 3 doors and only have one key for ignition and door locks. To do this I figured I would need these:
DEFENDER TDI / TD5 IGNITION BARREL + 3 MATCHING LOCKS
Rightclick
Then get the key in the remote key fob cut to the new key which works with the barrels. One key and remote all in one!!! Im not so fussed about alarms etc, just locking / unlocking all doors from a simple press of a button.
Has anyone done something like this before? or see any problems I might run into?
I have already spent hours of my evenings scrolling though threads about lots of talk of central locking but not much actual pictures or guides of how its been done. Any hints, tips or links to things that could help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rupert
