Locking

Post by Cruisen Volvo » 03 Jul 2006 01:38 pm

Hey guys just some general locking questions.

1) Has anyone seen or installed a central locking mechanism on the boot to lock and unlock with the other doors?

2) has anyone seen a boot lock like the 240's where you use the key to open and there is no way to forget to lock it?

3) Does any one know what would be involved cost and effort wise to install remote sentral locking

4) Has anyone seen or installed a lockable glove box like the ones in 240's

Point one was sort of covered by some one (whitiker?), but the car was saddly written up :(

There was a button on the dashbord I believe to unlock it

Kar had remote central locking, and I have a 740 tailgate lock I'm going to put into the new boot on that one.

To retro fit remote will be simple for you, as I'd imagine all the Aussie GLT's had central as standard, and the way it's set up means its just a few wires. If you need a detailed version, give me a shout.

As to the glovebox, something I've often wondered, but not done anything about.
