Locking a Defender

[Scallops]

Hello Folks - got my truck in at OL today - they have been really helpful in regard to repairing my buggered wheel carrier and are totally rejigging it with much thicker steel plate - so now it will outlast the cockroach! :D

But the point of my post... I asked them to lock the keys in it so I can come along later tonight with the 2nd set and pick it up. But now I'm wondering if this is actually possible! :angel:

I've always just used the fob to lock the truck. Can it also be locked by pushing down the driver's side door lock and slamming the driver's door? :confused:

If so - would I then need to unlock it with the key rather than the 2nd fob?

Yes, but hopefully from someone here with the answer in this thread. :p Otherwise I'm going to have to leave work early to get to the store before they close.

Just get them to lock it from the outside then push the keys in through the bottom of either front doors. There's normally plenty of space there ;).

Nah - not since the cat got jammed in there and set hard.

It will lock with the button pushed on the door. But it is easier to do one of the rear doors then the front door. I can't recall why it's just it was a pain to do with the front and easier to do with the middle doors.

Maybe I could get rid of a few on AULRO..........:wasntme:.

if anything like the locks on the older ones then they won;t let you lock from the front doors but you can from the rear ;)

If you try to lock with a fob and a door open the horn sounds and that particular door will not lock.

If it is the same as our 06 model, you can lock with the FOB and unlock with a key, but the horn will sound until you use the unlock on the FOB to cancel the horn alarm.

Well I guess i`ll stick to my 1993 110 200 tdi defender . :p

On mine you can't lock the drivers door while it's open. It's the master for all the solenoids so that has been done to stop people locking the keys in. However if you hop in the passenger side, close the door, and then lock the car using the drivers door lock. You can then open the door on the passenger side and hop out. Lock it and close the door with the button pressed.

Note that if you try this with the alarm set you will set the alarm off. :)

If this is a Defender Tdci, the hand book says not to slam lock the doors.On my 200 tdi, I keep a spare door key in the engine bay and an ignition key hidden inside the vehicle.It is possible to open the bonnet by inserting your fingers between the bonnet and the top of the radiator panel.You just loop your fingers on the cable and pull.The bonnet will pop.
This is not possible on my 08 Defender as the cable is secured differently.You can reach it with your fingers but it will not pop the bonnet.

Can't do that with mine unless you lock the front while closed and then close the rear door.

I'm guessing by the lack of "I've looked my keys in my defender" threads that this is impossible. I can't lock the door on my 110 when its open, come to think of it I couldn't on my '89 county either...
