Bit of a thread hi-jack.
Fortunately it was my passenger door that was faulty. So not an immediate problem.
I did get it work again using the two man unlock bang handle technique.
The advice I was given was to remove the "hidden screws" from the door trim. So at least if everything goes wrong you can still remove the trim and open the door...
If anyone has a problem with the passenger door please pm me I have one for sale. Never fitted as the unlock bang technique cured my lock :laugh:

If it was used off ebay there is a good chance thats why it was punted on there in the first place. Does it lock manually with the key?

And this actuates the central locking? I.e the only way the central locking doesn't work is when a signal, either from the remote or the button on the drivers door is sent to it?
This being the case the door lock module is at fault. If the central locking can be activated from the lock manually there are no communication problems between it and the central convienience module. If it isn't actuating from a signal sent to it from the CCM its because the mechanism is fubard in the door lock.

Yeah I would say its worth a go. I would think if you buy it from the stealers you could return it if it doesn't work. I managed to buy a brand new one of ebay so keep an eye out. Did swither about buying a second hand one but as it seems to be a common issue thought there would be a high risk of buying someone else's problem unit.
