yes- there have been a few posts recently about it - just type in door actuator or solenoid in the search and it should give more info

you dont have to replace them all just the faulty ones ! best way to check is sit inside car and push down drivers door lock and see which ones go down ! then try from passenger door !  :y

done as suggested and it only works on the drivers side door all three of the other doors dont work.just wondering as this is a base model if this has other actuators

  I would have thought even the base model has central locking :).

    Have you tried to see if the fuse that works the system has blown :question, just an idea :y.

Also check the battery carrier in the fob,mine had a broken connector to the circuit board,repaired it with a small length of thin wire and a bloody small soldering iron tip. To check its operation--does the red LED light up on the fob when you press a button?

fuse must be ok then. if you use the key in the drivers door, do any of the other locks work, ie open or close?.
