MG TD TF 1500 - DOOR LOCKING FAULT

Anybody help? I have a 2003 mgtf and no majic key code to over ride the system. The passenger door locking mechanism upon activation of either opening or closing the door, using either the key fob or key causes grinds and rattles like buggery and once in the car the immobiliser is activated within 20 seconds and I have to then press open on the key fob again to get the ignitiion to start. Anybody else had similar problems and how were they resolved? All info welcome, many thanks. Any advice on how to get a majic code to neutralise the mechanism by turning the key and entering the code, welcome, as usual; Rover do not seek to assist!!!!! Cheers Nick

Nick,

We'd love to help but the doors on our TFs are held closed with a rope crossing over the driver's and passenger's laps.

You're on the wrong thread.

Wow... Lucas electronics for the noughties.

Last I heard, I think the whole company went bust, Nick. :-(
