Try excercising all the locks on the car one by one, Darren.

Locks and levers can become sticky over time. I recall having the mechanism in the drivers door almost become solid. With the door card removed, I was able to lubricate and free off the mechanism.

Spmetimes just opening and closing the doors and working the locks a few times is enough to get things going again.

See how you make out with those ideas as a starter.

Thanks for that, already tried my friend, I used to be a member of jec years ago , when I had a few daimler 's (xj40) . Had a similar problem. But doors unlock perfect with the KEY. I unplugged the central locking module in the drivers door for a few seconds and seemed to have sorted it, but within an hour back to fault. Could it be this

Open the key fob and clean all the dirt out. Some of the buttons can be replaced by parts found on e-bay.
