Punctuation young man.

Is the interior light flashing when you press the door release buttons?

Whilst all TVR's are made in Blackpool, they are all slightly different. WHAT MODEL? have you got.

Hi Wayne.

I had this about a year ago.

The problem was exactly the same but I had it come back. Then go away, Then come back...

Had to wind down the window and open the door with the emergency handle, but then it would open whenever I did less than the 6mph you can open the door under. Amusingly it was happening at the same time as the speed sensor went AWOl. On one occasion the speed went to 0mph and the dood popped open at 30ish Ended up removing the door fuse.

The problem was the door switch. Apparently the button is a tight fit in the switch and it was heating up and expanding enough to think it was being pressed. I had a new button module fitted and no problem since.

Hope yours has sorted itself, but if it comes back then hope that helps.
