So I just bought a berlingo yesterday (2001 I think) and for some reason the car wont lock. The central locking works fine, it's just as soon as the car locks it unlocks immediately after. I think I've narrowed it down to two possible cause (but I could be completely wrong).
1. The light on the dash that indicates that a door is open is also on. I've tried closing all the doors on the car again and again but there's no change. I think the car won't lock if it thinks one of the doors are open.
2. The lock on the boot door is broken I think. The handle works fine I can close and open it fine, the problem is the key wont turn in it and I really don't want to force it in case I break the key.
Just thought I'd try here first before I have to take it to someone to have a look at because at this stage I'm completely stomped.
Thanks!
