Just got the car through MOT. Don't have a key fob just a old fashioned key without buttons. The central locking doesn't lock off the drivers door lock, is this normal?
At present I'm having too have the window down, use the lock button on the dash, hit the auto window button and get the ignition off, key out and me out without stopping the window locking. I can do it but my partner can't due too shoulder issues.
Can anyone help me out too try and solve this. Don't want too have too spend £100+ on a programmed key fob when not sure how reliable the cars going too be!
Thanks guys know I'm new too the forum but couldn't get any help on FB groups for c3s.

Re: C3 08 1.4hdi central locking issues
The drivers door lock is not connected to the central locking.
Being an 08 C3 you can use the knock off Chinese "flip" keys (2 button version). Unfortunately there are two kinds of transmission protocols, ASK and FSK. I don't know which one your car uses.
However, you wont be able to use the flip key as a key, just the buttons.
The cars owners manual tells you how to re-synchronize the fobs. I believe this will work...I'm not sure, but I think so.
Wheeler might correct me if I'm wrong.
