Locks on wrong side

[NJC 172]

Bought my 172 2 weeks ago and it has a lock in the door on the passenger side but not on the drivers door surly this in wrong. But it could be cos its an import.

u mean theres no lock on the outside on the drivers side?

 

[NJC 172]

Yer no lock on the drivers door but there is on the passenger door.

thats not right fella! go 2 renault and get that sorted!

Usually this is beacuse renault are cheap...remember that it is built in France so that would be the drivers door over there.

Its on all cars including UK cars

 

[clio__chris]

its normal

Its a UK car. The passenger door lock is the only key activated lock on the car. Oh the joys and quirkiness of the old French eh?

 

[ravo]

aye, thats standard, lazy frenchies! no lock on drivers side

 

[NJC 172]

Fair enough nothing to worry about then?

 

[Chris n nic]

The earlier ones had a lock on both sides iirc.

Totally normal they stopped having a right hand side door lock on the 52 models iirc.

Confused now. Mines a March 2003 car and it has locks on both sides and the key operates both of them.

Yours must have been built on a good day in the factory....

Maybe a worker got some the night before and thought he would be nice to your car

Mine is a 2000 MK1 172 and ithas them onboth side.

What ya worried about, people pay to have that done to there cars, at least yours will be half price when you want it delocked
