<E30> central locking problem/solution

[Christopher Pawlowicz <chrisp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the microswitch is to activate 'double lock'

(but it first activates 'lock' *and then* 'double lock' so as
not to screw things up)

turning the key 45 degrees should push the linkage enough so that it will
push down the door lock motor and signal 'lock'

usually the springs are weakened in the key cylinder and it takes more than
that to activate the lock motor.
