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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
