Firstly sorry for the invasion, once you've answered this for my dad I will vamoosh back to the punto section......
So he has had his 500 1.3 Lounge just under a year now and has had endless fun and no problems as of yet, however the gremlins have started appearing.
When he takes the car to work he only takes the basic key, not the remote one, and last week the car stopped locking. Turning the key in the hole would cause the door handle (inside) to slightly turn inwards but wouldn't lock fully.
However when he got home he pressed the door lock button on the remote key, both doors locked, he then went and opened it with the key manually and again afterwards it wouldn't lock without the remote.
So for a few days he started taking the remote key to work and using that but now that has stopped working too. The remote still works as the indicators flash but the door locks don't engage.
Naturally its going back to the garage under warranty, just wondered if any of you guys have had a similar experience or any ideas what the problem might be or what might have casued it?
