Mo, have you not checked out what I suggested (the physical connections)? - It worked for my friend with exactly the same problem. Water and moisture can get in there over a long time.

I tried...but it was too dark to work out how to take the rubber bits off.  I will have another look in the morning.

P.S.  I got the door open by constantly unlocking and locking the door and pulling the outside handle.  I suspect the problem is still there though and may happen any time.

If you have vagcom/VCDS go into central locking and perform an output crash test this will pop the doors regardless of a fault.
