    Wouldn't be the most pleasant job for a first time DIY'er.

    It's a straight swap job with no programming or special tools needed or anything like that so it's not beyond the scope of a competent DIY-er.

    When did this start?
    Does all other doors lock?
    Is there a sound from the door lock?
    Did you try spraying with some lubricant?

    started last sat evening i didnt know it was'nt locking till monday morning.
    all other doors locking perfectly.
    when i try to lock it it makes two clicks the flashing light beside the dash on the drivers door stays on for maybe 10/20 secs then flashes faster than normal.sprayed some lube into the lock no difference.

    There's a lot of middle ground between chancing it yourself and paying main dealer labour rates.

    the locks are 30/40 quid on ebay.

    did my own last year.
    loads of youtube videos on how to do it.
    if your anyway mechanically minded its straight forward.
    so straight forward I only had to take the door skin off 3 times :(
