My car's doors have recently started looking by them self, it seems to happen after I start the car or turn the car off...The car has central locking and an alarm fitted. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

Has the battery been disconnected lately? or run flat?

Odds are the alarm is defaulted to lock the doors after car starts , anti carjack feature and its not a bad idea these days just watch locking your keys in the car lol and servicing it roll a window down first so you can reach in to unlock it , lots of repair shops lock the keys in with the engine on from that feature

If not go to alarm installer and have them reprogram the feature to off

some cars come with that feature as a factory / dealer option as well ?

Thanks, nah the battery hasn't been disconnected or run flat...I had another look and the doors lock whenever I put the key in the ignition or take the key out.

I'm not to worried about it because I can just unlock the door and get out, I just think it's weird that it only just started happening last night...I'll keep an eye on it for now and see what happens.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
