do the big wedges have central locking?

do the big wedges have central locking? If so mines buggered. Lucky if I can sometimes open the passenger door.

Also has anyone experienced the door opening by itself upon winding down the electric window. Very scary for the girlfriend at 100MPH around a bend!

After noseing at the insides of my old wedge, there was a lot of thin metal rods from handle to latch etc, could the window have come into contact with the opener one?

Mines always had central locking, remote door opening and immobilsiser. It was sufficiently vintage that I suspect it was there from new.

I relaced the system as the old one was cr@p. It kept locking me out (luckily I always had the roof down) plus immobiliser could be completely disabled by pulling out the alarm fuse located on top of the battery.

Now I've got a nice Cat II Thatcham approved jobbie

Mine doesn't have it!
Think it was an option

Hi Nacnud,

It's duncan if I'm not mistaken?
Hi this is stu, I think we met at donnington in september, is yours the sky blue 450SEAC?


Anyway, I WANT REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING!!!!

Where did you get it from, how much did it cost and how did you fit it?

If the car already has an alarm system, there's usually a trigger pulse output that can be fed to a central locking control module. All you would need is the c/l module and a pair of motors.
Piece of cake. See if you can identify the alarm system, then ask an installer what colour wire you should be looking for.
From memory a c/l module is about 40 quid and motors less than a tenner each from Maplins, or zip-all if you can fit them down your socks at the scrappy...

Hi - that's me !

My alarm was fitted by Peninsula who have proven remarkably adept at tracing and fixing a number of bizarre wiring problems on my SEAC. Give them a call and see what they say.

Had any more trouble or are you happy bunnies ?

My 450 SE is a pretty much a 'bare bones' 450 -- no central locking or interior piping, both of which were TVR options at the time of production.
