You're not the only one...I've never heard of superlocking either!! :doh:

 

However, having just done a search for it, I found that it appears to be the same as deadlocking!

"The MGF has remote-control "superlocking" (deadlocking) and an engine immobiliser. The alarm protects the car even while the hood is down, and the stereo has a removable front panel. The boot can only be opened by the key, and the bonnet can only be opened from inside the boot, giving the MGF a high level of security as standard. "

HTH

 

Think its what Nissans call deadlocking thats been picked up by Rover as a goodword. Suppose dead locking doesn't sound as nice

 

As far as I know, superlocking is to do with locking the lock. The little lock stub in the doors is latched in place to prevent opening the locks via a broken window.

The new 2003 models of ZR have superlocks fitted to all 3 doors - you can activate them by double clicking the lock button on your remote.

I have them on my new 160 - you hear the locks click as normal and then a further click as the superlocking is enabled. Very sweet! :bgrin:

I'd be interested to discuss the other security mods as it looks like MGR have done a good job in bringing the car up to Thatcham 1.

Dave - I believe you can get some of the lock upgrades as an aftermarket kit - is that true?

Deadlocking under a different name. Works in exactly the same way as the likes of F@rd etc.

Errr whats this i hear about Dead locks on the NEW ZRs ???

if this can be added as an extra to my mk3 200 i want it now!!

Whats the story Dr Dave ??

actually rick has a point, on my 160 if you press the lock button, the car locks, but then tap the lock button again and theres a further noise as if the car has locked itself again

I assume this is it?

That'll be the baby.

Why it can't be the standard lock mode I don't know.

James - Your car would be too early to have deadlocking (I think!)

Yes or No ??

After finding out a little more about it and assuming superlocking is the same as deadlocking.....

The reason it can't be the normal lock mode is for safety.... If you've superlocked the car while there is still someone inside for example there is no way to get out ( other than the window, but thats no good if you have electric windows.... )

My cousin's MK4 ARSE-TRA has the same feature.... you can't even dead-lock that until the driver's door has been opened.... how stupid.... you just open the door... don't get out... shut it... then Deadlock it.... Vau*hall are stupid some times!

 

Dead locks went on my mates cavalier once. We were at a petrol station and couldn't unlock the car, which had been deadlocked, so called the rac who got in via the boot and opened the windows. The switch inside the door had buggered so couldn't unlock the doors. Had to get in ala Dukes of Hazard Stylee, then drive home with the windows open (just in case we had a smack, according to the RAC bloke). Once home smacked the inside of a door with a mallet and it popped it.

 

You'd have to be daft to lock the doors with the remote whilst your inside. I can understand it if not activating if you press the button on the door down. But not for the remote locking.

Oh well.

Superlocking

Hi. New here, but here goes.

We have Superlocking on our 75. It activates automatically with the remote, but not from the lock button inside the car. When it's activated, the inner door handles become inoperative, and the handbook states not to do it, if there's someone in the car.

Hope that helps.
:bgrin2:

 

Two 'pulls' of the interior door hadle and the deadlocks are released simple!

 

Errr... Wouldn't that set the alarm off...? I know I'm probably being thick (it happens often!), and I don't want to scare the neighbours. :lol:

I get the feeling that some of the peeps on here who are tapping their lock button twice, might be locking their car twice... Just a thought.

:beer:

 

can this superlcking be fitted on the early ZR's if not 200's ???

 

"can this superlcking be fitted on the early ZR's if not 200's ???"

Not sure.......although it could be....say no more!

Might involve an alarm ECU change?

 

Errr... Wouldn't that set the alarm off...? I know I'm probably being thick (it happens often!), and I don't want to scare the neighbours....

Well, not so on the 75, anyway :err:

 

James - Your car would be too early to have deadlocking (I think!)

fair enough any idea why mine does it then?

ie. you press the lock button and it locks with a flash of the lights, wait a second double tap the lock button and you get a further locking noise, plus the lights flash

Doesnt that defeat the whole object of superlocking?!?!?!?!?!?
