Guessing microswitches in the motor.  Apparently these can be cleaned/replaced, but probably easier to do entire motor

All the normal ones do, but yours seems to be a very poverty spec one.  Does it have central locking?

Ah, fook me, this will be a really early Omega, won't it?  So if it did have remote locking, it would be IR...

Dont really know if it helps mate..but i worked with a guy who had a M reg 8v,he had no remote locking just the old style laser keys, i think he eventually got an aftermarket alarm with interface to get remote locking,
Sounds like you actuator on the door is collapsing inside,used to happen regularly with Senator's,Carlton's etc......used to feel like you were going to snap the key when trying to lock it.......

I assume it will be more or less the same set up....
