Hey guys,

Just picked up my V35 today, and I'm in love! But I have a small problem. When I got home today, I locked the car with the remote and all the doors locked fine. When I got to work, and tried to lock it, the driver's side door wouldn't lock with the remote. The passenger side door would unlock and lock, but the driver's side wouldn't. I would have to lock and unlock the driver's side door using the key and it would work fine. Any ideas?

Yeah mate, exactly same problem I have. Same door too. It is the locking mechanism. Is it an 03-04 by any chance? The locking mechanisms on these earlier ones seem to break often.

Chris Rogers, from this forum, will be fitting a new mechanism for me when he comes down to Melbourne in August, it costs a little over $300 bucks, plus installation.

At the moment I do the same as you, I either lock the car manually before I get out by moving the latch when the door is open and I'm getting out, or lock it with the key.

Unfortunately everytime you unlock it to get back in the car, you will have to use the key for your door.

But yes, you're up for a few hundred to solve the problem.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
