Hello I am Kitty98.
I too am experiencing the same glitch on the drivers side door with my 2+2 ,
number 98. I have just heard from the garage who have done my new MOT and
they said that they had a look and it looked like the door had dropped or
something so any amount of WD40 or light oil will have done no good (I tried
this my self). As to a cure to the problem can I ask if anyone has a
solution?
The method you described of closing the door is a method of closing the door
without having the keys on you that is built into the design. I think that
most cars of the age used for Quantum's will do this.
I once as child locked the car in this fashion upsetting the family picnic I
was on some what.
However I am not luckily not having the bonnet problem so I can offer you no
advice on that myself.
ALL THE BEST
KITTY98

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Door Lock / Bonnet Catch Query (s)
Hiya folks
Got a funny on Q2-002 which is a bit strange.
When I open the drivers door, the key unlocks the lock with no
problem. If I open the door, shut it, then try to lock it, there is
mechanical resistance, and I cannot lock the door. If I unlock the
door, then try to re-lock with opening the door, it functions
correctly.
At the moment I have to hold the external door latch up, press the
internal button, then shut the door to lock the car. It has only just
started to do this.
The other funny is a similar situation on the bonnet catch - the
bonnet does not always click in place to close, and there is hard
resistance to the bonnet being pushed down on the mechanism.
Occasionally the bonnet works first time though...
Unfortunately both these problems are only happening when the bodywork
is in the way, so I cannot see the reasons why there is mechanical
resistance.
Both locks have been drowned in WD40 / light oil to see if it is just
something sticky.
Has anyone got any suggestions, or do I need to purchase new
mechanisms for both, and particularly on the door - which bit?
Many thanks
James T
