just wondering if people think the problem is faulty microswitch as covered in bowders sticky or could it be a range of problems...

basically the door locked someetimes and eventually deadlocked shut

Soak it with WD40 when you get it open. Mine has done this a couple of times and WD keeps it working for another 12 months.

Managed to get mine to open by hitting the outside handle whilst operating the remote.

presume I can't 'break' the door open though. don't wanna end up with a door that looks as if the lads have been practicing their car jacking on it..

Maybe worth having a look at the wires where they enter the door? You can inspect them by opening the front door. If one has snapped that could be your problem

its getting access thats the problem, you have to basically break the lock mech out, from the inside of the car! its a pain, but doable! Did you fix it?
