Default New Owner and the odd question

Hi folks,

I've just got myself a '96 4.0 Limited SE here in the UK and i've already grown rather attached to the ol girl.
I bought it as a temporary car whilst a 3 series BMW was off the road. The BMW is now fixed but it's the 'Beemer' that's going to get sold as I prefer the Jeep. Happy Days!!

It's also running LPG which here in the UK is important, since fuel prices are hideous!

Anyway, I do have a couple of issues I need to resolve. Firstly the Central locking (off the alarm remote) only operates the two passenger side doors.
If I open the drivers door manually with the key and then use the unlock door button, still the same doors unlock but the drivers side rear door doesn't unlock.

I've noticed when unlocking via the alarm remote, only the passenger side indicators operate. (yes they all work under normal conditions)

Any pointers to get me started?

Anyway, many thanks in advance,

Nik

I squirted some wd-40 in where the lock and stuff were inside the door. Had a similiar issue. Now it works good as new. Give that a try. good luck

Ahh the ever-handy WD-40. Thanks for that. I'll certainly give it a try.
