Mrs' has coming and said the Central Locking isnt working.. so off I go pitch black and blowing a gale trying to see if the fuse has blown. None of the doors are locking even when I use the key in the door (only the drivers door)
Funny though cause when I press the keyfob alarm it bleeps and puts the flashing light on the dash then when you open the door it starts to make the Neighbour Annoying NOise :D:D:D:D

Any idea what vehicle what year? Or do you just want peeps to guess?
 
Sounds like the driver sides door actuator to me.....not some fuse. Try to clean it, jiggle it a bit or something......maybe u'll have to replace it....anyway wait for other oppinions too, i'm not a disco 1 expert.
 
Fuse 11 under the bonnet.
If however your electric windows are operating it's not the fuse, same fuse.
Otherwise what he ^^^^^^^ says, faulty drivers door actuator.

Ah well the elecric windows are working so door actuator (central locking motor I assume) it is then.
Thanks Again Guys

There is one thing you could check before buying a new actuator.
The actuator is operated by 12V pulses from the alarm ECU on the pink and orange wires at the actuator.
If you have an ecu fault you won't have the 12V pulses therefore the actuator won't operate.
Worth taking the door card of to check first.

I have just read your post so will try your suggestion next..

I have today checked every fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel everyone is fine. So I removed the Central Locking Motor for a known good one I have, exactly the same...:( The electric windows work properly & mirrors etc
What happens is you can open the drivers door with the key but then need to pull up the buttons on the other doors to open them, then press then push the buttons down then lock the drivers door with the key which then makes the indicators flash activating the alarm......
There is however I noticed a microswitch on the actual handle could this be the problem??

Your help will be most welcome
Cheers

The micro-switch puts a supply onto the alarm/immobiliser when you lock the drivers door with a key and sets it.
It could stop the alarm ecu arming and not putting a pulse to the drivers door actuator if it was faulty.
The switch has no function if you use the key fob.
