after starting the vehicle and beginning to drive off there is a whirring clunk noise (like a small electric motor )have not been able to figure out what it is, only happens after putting into gear (auto) and moving off . Radio ,Aerial is manual .

Sounds like a worn bearing in the transmission

Auto door locks that lock when you move off?

It could well be the ABS pump unit. On many cars its part of the operating strategy that the module pulses the pump motor briefly after an ignition cycle and its seen the vehicle moving at 20kph approx. It's done to stop the pump seizing. See a Toyota agent if in doubt.
