Has anyone had the experience ,where you close the doors with the remote control,yet one of the doors wont lock? , the door still opens when you lift the door handle,any ideas ?

in my case a rear door,im hoping its something wd40 will fix

sounds like the actuator is busted, common problem in these cars its happened to me twice in 2 different ba's. there is a little white cog inside the mechanism that breaks, I think you can buy the part itself somewhere, but I just replaced the whole unit.

EDIT: If you are after a quick fix until you can get it sorted, just pull the door trim off and disconnect the door handle rod so it wont open the door but MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE CHILD LOCK FIRST, or you will be in for some great drama's when it comes time to open it again...

definatly the actuator. I had 2 break at the exact same time!

there is a thread that was made recently showing how to repair the broken bit, including instructions how to remove it from the car. I think it is pinned in this section

Thanks for your feed back ,found the thread too

Definently check child proofing first, its hell if you have no way of opening the door lol.
