Daveydw,

There is a SPRING behind the handle, it may have come off! You need to remove rear door trim and check it out, once th problem is sorted spray the spring and locks with WD40... I did the job last weekend and the locking mechanism is fine now. See also this post: http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1058

Just had exactly the same problem, unfortunatly it was in the super market car park. For some reason the handle sticks thus stoping the lock from being unlocked.

I will try the above proceedure before I get cought short again.

Cheers

what I did was, spray a load of WD into the rear lock, and onto the orange lock bit in the rear door, then get hold of the inside door look on the drivers door and paly with it for a few minutes, locking, unlocking it loads of time, seem to cure mine.
