My daughter's Corsa does the same and while it does annoy me she got used to it and doesn't mind.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

keeps the thieving scum at bay
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

but if you really want rid of it you could disconnect the switch that detects when the door is open
downside of this is that you are more than likely to get a warning light that a door is open

I assume its not got central locking. The usual cause is a broken detent spring in the door catch/lock mechanism. usually needs a new catch unless you
can find a spring (tiny).

it has got central locking and i think itll be a case of disconnecting the wires from the drivers door lock making it manual locking
never mind thanks folks

don't know about the combo, but some car have that as a security feature, it can normally be turn on or off, have a look in your manual, it may
tell you how to switch it off in there (Or go and see vauxhall and ask them)
