After a severe rock climb diff 2nd full power bounced up.
the central locking and my drivers overide door lock didn't work.
the disco took a real battering.
Then after half an hour she seemed to reset SOMHOW.
any ideas I would like to disable the central looking if it's going to leave me stranded in the middle of the brekon beakons.
the imboliser (didn't kick in thank good)
any Ideas.could it be some sort of crash door release system.??????
paul vp battered but ok.

You probably tripped the inertia switch. It would have reset when you switched off the ign completely.

You have heard of the term "Tread Lightly"

Keep diving in on full throttle and you will end up stranded or worse still injured.

well Renny
are you saying full power on a hill climb on wet loose rocks is not on!
I would have love to have crawled up there but wouln't have made it.

thanks anyway

P.s. is the disabling of the central locking system to do with accident
door release?????
