The car will unlock itself if it senses a door is not shut properly, I had same on my 06 XJR, in fact it repeatedly cycled lock/unlock, much to the amusement of passers by. It was a slightly bent metal rod connecting the lock to the handle within the passenger door. Worth taking off the door cards and checking?

Hi Steve, are you pulling the handle whilst still holding the key fob? The key fob(s) need to be far enough away from the car to stop the signal from alerting the car to the fact that you are trying to gain entry.
