Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that suspect a cause
1
0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
If the same happens, the problem is likely with the car, not the key.
Leading evidence: 'likely' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'likely' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Every time i unlock the doors to my 996 Turbo cab with the electric button on the key fob, it releases the bonnet catch aswell ??
So when i go and lock it down again, then drive up the road, it releases again.
Driving me mad at the mo' but can't be bothered (yet) with the 15 mile drive to my OPC.
I think it may well just be the key itself, but not sure.
Any ideas ?
G.
There should be a separate button on the fob which unlocks the doors
and
the bonnet together.
It could be that the two buttons and/or circuitry in the fob are malfunctioning and transmitting arbitrarily - which might explain why the bonnet is releasing while you are driving.
As blueSL says, trying the spare key should eliminate this and point to a fault in the car.
You should get it sorted quickly though, even though it's catched, you don't want your bonnet opening at 180mph[&:]
Just tried my spare keys and it does exactly the same thing.
Must be something on the car then.
Looks like a hike to my OPC now.
Ah well, a good excuse to have a look around the showroom i suppose !!!

Are you refering to the one that Carrera 4 boy is organising ?, if so, haven't heard anything yet, and March is looking very Busy for me at the mo'
I'm desperate to do one or two trips some time this year, so may look at seeing if anyone else is up for a trip June/July time
The problem with March is that the weather can be very hit and miss

Hi Guys,
Yes it's really busy for me too at the moment. Just never seem to have much time to even log in to the forum much. June looks better too. Speak soon.
