Noticed that the central locking was erratic recently, working fine some days and not others.
This morning I got to the car and turned the key in the door and no thump indicating the unlock of all four doors. Guess it didn't lock last night, shrugged and got in the car. When I closed the door an audible "groan" came from the fuse box area, which could be repeated a few times. Open door, close door, and a three to five second mechanical "groan".
This summer's problems with the central locking were resolved by replacing a relay, but I never heard a noise before. I also noted that manual operation of the rear passenger door lock, the door least used, was very stiff. Sounds like a clean and lube of the door mechanisms is in order, but what is making that noise?
