Nope - but I pi$$ my girlfriend off by not pressing the key fob twice to open the passenger side sometimes - maybe something similar but guess having had a previous 5 door you already know how to unlock and open - sorry for being no help  :wink:

Maybe the lock has failed or something to do with child lock?????

yeah, it feels like something like a rod has jammed in a guide, the kids door lock is armed so maybe thats causing it. oh well back to dealer i go!. Typically im off to cornwall Monday for a quick 5 day break in the car, so i spose im lucky i have 3 other doors to pick from!!!  :laugh:.
I wonder if the cars trying to tell me something.Went out and had a look at an Ed30 today to possibly purchase. :smiley:
