Doors lock as you start to drive.

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
When I start to drive away from a standstill in my 1995 XJ6 3.2 (X300) there is a "CLICK" noise and all 4 doors lock. I can see the logic of this as an Anti Car-jacking solution but personally, I would rather it didn't happen. I would much rather press that button on the dash that looks like a car door to lock / unlock all the doors manually and as required.
As I understand it, I should be able to take my car into a Jaguar Main Dealers and get them to disable this automatic feature but I have a couple of questions.
1 ... Is it possible to do this properly at home?
2 ... Is it a case of, "Just sit there and have a coffee while I get one of the lads to do it", or is it a case of, "We'll call you next week when you can come and collect your car".
3 ... Is there a charge to do this and if there is, what would be the normal cost? I would hate to get there and then collapse in a quivering heap on the showroom floor after being told that it costs £220.
Cheers,
Steve

Hey 5tevie, sounds like the auto lock mechanism is activated. This usually kicks in once you get above 5mph - 10mph or similar.
iirc on the X types and others I'm almost sure you can acivate / deactivate this yourself ( not sure on yours though ) but hopefully someone a little more knowledgable than me will chime in.....
Worst case scenario post this into the XJ section and you may get a better response there.
Update - just found this ....doesn't look good I'm afraid
