Title: Central locking?
Post by: Darren on September 05, 2007, 22:47:42

Has anybody fitted such a thing to a 110 SW? Having just moved from a Discovery, it's the one thing that I know I'm going to miss as I have two small children that constantly need lifting in and out of car seats :roll:

It can be done, I asked (off the cuff) when I had the additional immobiliser added, the dealer wanted circa £300!!


Maplins stock a kit for about £40, but it's only for 3 doors.
I believe you need to provide/amke some bell-cranks in order to generate sufficient 'force' to flip the locks


However, there's bound to be someone who's fitted it along shortly

I was going to suggest you look at Falcon 4x4 who used to do a kit, but their website says they've stopped trading   :(

Thanks Cal :?  :)

After a bit of research, it looks like the Maplins kit will be the way to go. It's actually only £22 for a four door kit and they sell the motors separately to do the fifth. Although, I might not bother with the rear door.

That is very reasonable!  You do realise that now you said it we want pictures :D

Pictures of the kit, or pictures of it being fitted? For the former, have alook at the Maplins website. For the latter, it's on my list of things to do but it's quite a long list and this isn't at the top... :lol:
