My '85 Euro S has again an electrical gremlin: when the door's slammed close from normal to hard, it locks itself and via the central locking system, the entire car gets locked. When the door's closed very gentle, this doesn't happen. I guess there's something loose in there. Anybody got an idea what it may be? References on repars of the lock mechanism? I've had it in parts before, but apparently did not fix it right...

My '81 did this also. You need to remove door panels and adjust linkages on lock mechanism. I cannot remember what I adjusted (it was over 8 years ago) I started on the side that the ignition key would lock car faster if that makes sense. Just barely turning key would cycle locks down. for mine it was the driver side, just a touch clockwise and they would lock.
