When i press the button to lock the doors, they lock but jump straight back up again. It doesnt happen every time but becoming very frequent (almost every time now). I make sure all the doors are shut properly when it happens and re-try but nothing will happen (6 times then c/l will not work anymore) so im forced to lock them all manualy.

Hi I had this, but mine is a SW model and you have to check that the two boot doors are closed too.
ei the central locking will not work if the top window boot is open. check it by just pulling on the winscreen wiper on the back window. if it is open this is why the central locking will not work. It is a safe guard so you do not walk away for the car even if you cannot see the boot is open.

Hi
I had the same problem just after I bought mine and have found out it is a common problem, which is moisture has got into the locking motor on one of the doors. If you are good atrepairing anything it is quite a straight forward job.After working out the faulty door remove door panel remove locking motor open it and spray the limit switch with plenty of WD40
