I have spinning locks, both doors, now its taken me 10mins to central lock it,before doing so i had opened the bonnet,after locking it, i disconnected the battery to save it as it keeps going flat when the car is left for a while, after closing bonnet i realized i cant get back into car.

According to my loose leaf (all the pages have come apart) Owner's Manual the correct fluid is Fluide ATX, by Total of course.

Dexron 2 spec fluids are required for the Earlier autobox, there are plenty of topics here on it if you do a search Tony.
