    Hi Mike,
    From memory, mine had similar symptoms to yours, it wouldn't lock sometimes, I'd have to manually push the button down before locking the rest, or it wouldn't open unless I pressed the remote several times. Then it went ok for a few months.
    Next thing I know it's deadlocked shut.
    If yours is opening at the moment, I'd get the panel off asap and see if you can do the actuator repair, because mine is now a right royal pain in the arse.
    It took me ages to get the door panel off (broke half the clips in the process) and underneath there's a metal panel covering the internals of the door. I think the window has to be disconnected from the mechanism before this can be removed, but even if I get it off, I'm not sure the door can be opened.
    Anyway, good luck with yours, and I'll be sure to post the results of my escapades with my car.
    All the best
    Ade
