I have a problem with my 147 T Spark, I cannot lock the car with the key, I can open the boot with the key but cannot lock the doors. The battery to the key ring seems fine and it clicks a couple of times and the indicators blink two times after trying to lock. All of the lights are working and I cannot see anything wrong with other parts under the hood.

Can anyone help me?

Most likely keys will need to be re-coded. Had mine done recently at gold coast alfa, cost around $120.

When you press the button the lights blink which means the keys are communicating to the car, it could be the master central locking relay isn't sending power to the door locks and or there is a  seized rod / pushrod / ball joint / solenoid that isn't working, as with some when one doesn't work the rest don't as well, try locking the car manually with the keys in the lock and see if it works freely or is a bit stiff, Colin.
