2/ the key fobs a "luxury" if the key doesnt unlock at least the drivers door do something now! if the keys ok (try the spare see if that works) change the lock barrel. Not just on T2s lock barrels conk out. you may be able to get one to set up to your exisiting key. Replaced several on older vauxhalls over the years all you had to do was push the key into the unconfigured barrel then pull out the "safety strip".

The key doesnt do anything in the driver side lock. We have only one key and it is very worn. I dont think the key is the problem though - we cant lock the doors using the inside catch of the driver side door, it feels as though it is stuck on something.

Have you changed the battery in the remote for the doors ?

We have had the key changed, but it's a mechanical fault as far as I can tell - the locks physically wont move. It cant need recoding, it was fine when we first got it.

Where did you buy this truck? privaterly or from a dealer/trader, cos if its the latter, regardless of what they say, the law effectively makes them provide six months warranty. Not a matter for discussion, just hoik it back.....

It was from a dealer, "sold as seen". Not sure we have any grounds to take it back?

Logically in that case, and I dont know the layout of the t2 door mechanism (linkage or cable?), it sounds like wear in the drivers door linkage. Sods law itll be some little 25p plastic grommet or clip thats stopping it moving properly.

Disconnect the linkage from the lock barrel and see if you can turn the key freely in it. Then work out which bit going into the latch actually activates it and secures the door. Disconnect the linkage to that, sit in the truck and click it over with a screwdriver. youre on a roll ;)

Basically youve split the system into three units, barrel, latch and linkage . you will then know which one or more is defective :thumb2
 
No such thing as 'sold as seen' from a business. They have to abide by the law, and the law says whatever they sell has to be fit for purpose. Take it back, tell em you're not happy with it, see what happens.

Not sure if sold as seen has any statutory definition :nenau

However a dealer has to sell something as fit for purpose and remain so for a reasonable time afterwards.

I also understand that defects have to be listed eg if you buy a coat thats a second or defective they are obliged to point out why it is :thumb2

I'll give him a ring - we got it from london so it's a fair way to take it to find out they wont take it back. I'll call them tomorrow and see what he says.
 
All my window packed up a while ago apart from drivers, so thought relay etc, no the switches in the center consol was the problem took them all apart cleaned them up, no problems at all except that the wiring to this lot is a nightmare, my advice take several pics from different angles and make sure every wire can be identified, I am well into electrics but still took me hours to sort it out because when you lift the rear of the consol to get at the switches it pulls some of the wires off and you cannot see from where, so cut the cable ties first to reduce the strain, I have not had time to look at the rest of the post as I am on lap top with no charger away from home, Rick

could be battery in fob/key.do the indicators flash when button is pressed,if not then it will be remote.
as for the lock there is a little micro switch thing on the drivers door lock which tend to fail.not sure if it would jam up the job lot though.
there is also a unit for the power locks inside the drivers door which could be shagged.
sounds like you have got off to a bad start with this truck.
 
For the windows, I'd say replace the fuses first. Mine blew like every time I used the sods. Fitting a 20A fuse fixed that (if I only operate one at a time :eek: )

As for the revving, change the oil, plugs, filters and then have another go.

Squeeky speedo cable? Replace.

Towbar stuff. No idea.
 
Windows on my T2 get stuck on a regular basis when I don't use the truck that much. Sometimes they will free themselves up. Try spraying some furniture polish on the rubbers around the glass as it seems the rubbers get dry and stick. Sometime they will free up if I hold the switches down and thump the inside door panel. Also it is common enough for the wires on the switches under the centre console to fall off. Try taking off the centre console and see if they have fallen off. It is easy enough to take off the panels on the doors to see whats happening inside. That might tell you if something is jammed. If you take the door panel off try shaking the wiring connector where it connects to the window motor while at the same time holding down the switch for the window. Have had dodgy/loose connectors causing problems from time to time also.
My electronic key fob also has a habit of working very eratically if I haven't used it for a while. If I am using the truck regularly it works fine. No harm checking the battery in the key fob although it seems your problem is not that.
