| Post subject: | Broken lock |
The drivers side lock on my 323 has packed in - the plastic lighty up bit has dropped into the lock. I've had the inside door panel off to have a look, but I can't see how to get the lock/handle out. It's a real PITA walking round to the passsenger side every time I want to lock the doors, and I invariably leave the car open in car parks when I can't be arsed In addition to this, the OEM Cobra alarm on this car doesn't work, I can use the plipper to unlock the door, but if I lock the door with the plipper the alarm starts going off about 2 minutes later. I've had a local auto electric place have a look, but they inform me that the alarm is fecked and I need a new one. So should I get the lock fixed or get a new alarm :chin scratching: |

i had a similar dilemma not too long ago. the metal piece that covers the keyhole to prevent crap getting in it snapped into the keyhole. after consulting with my local mazda dealer, who wanted £50 for a new lock or £60 for a new lock coded to my key, i went for a new alarm cos i fancied having remote locking.

Yep go for an after market remote locking kit. There's plenty on the site about how much and how to fit them. |

Just make sure you also have some sort of back up should the remote system fail!!!!! |

[quote="m0053"]i. after consulting with my local mazda dealer, who wanted £50 for a new lock or £60 for a new lock coded to my key, [/quote] Why a new lock????? surely its a matter of removing the innered's and removing the metal flap! then theres no need for a lock code! I take it that was JCT mazda then!

probably, but then it would have got muck and stuff in it. i had planned ot get an alarm anyway, so i did, and then i faffed and currently only have a keyhole on the boot! i was happy
nearly forgot, that was at GK Mazda in sheffield where they quoted the prices for the parts |

Problem solved. I've worked out how to turn off the ultrasonics on the OEM Cobra alarm - big button then little button. So I can now use my remote central locking without my alarm going off
And my passenger lock still works so I don't have to worry about not being able to get back in with an alarm failure. |
