i stuck it done the window and jiggled the barrel lock,, door opened.. but now it wont lock unless i use the interior door locker....
key remote dont work.. so i have to use the keys..
but even when i have locked all the doors with the key from the drivers side. i could still open the drivers door, all other doors are now locked.. but now now, once i have locked all the other doors,
i go to the passenger side ( open it with the key or just left it opened ) and i now lean across to the drivers door and hit the central locking switch.. then close the passenger door .. car locked...lol
so i have to look inside the door to see whats going on... when i get a chance...
Try leaning in from the outside on the outer door skin whilst unlocking, to take some pressure off the lock, and see if that helps at all....

If not, then try pushing on in and out ( releasing ) to "jiggle" it a little

If not, you may as well try the other way, with someone on the inside pushing the door out whilst unlocking.

It sounds like the lock mechanism has worn out, and needs replacing. Once you get it unlocked, then take the inner door skin off so you can get to the mechanism if required, or replace the lock asap
