Not all doors unlock with key fob on FL2 ?

Hi all.

When we unlock our FL2, all the doors unlock apart from passenger side rear. To unlock it, we have to press the key fob again (sometimes twice). Whilst not terrible, it is annoying....please can I ask for some help?

It needs a replacement door lock assembly. Your symptoms are the signs of impending total failure, which normally leaves the door completely locked shut, so change it quickly.

Crikey.
How much would this cost to replace, please?

I replaced three of mine DIY at different times last one was two years ago with scrappy parts off e bay at the time around £ 15 to £20 each. I figured that the parts although second hand would be better than the newer non Gen or non OEM junk and I was right, well so far so good. It's a bit fiddly but doable with online help

I used an Ebay replacement, which was listed as OE. The replacement looked identical to the old one, and has been working fine for a couple of years.
The rear door locks are slightly worse than the front, but shouldn't be more than a couple of hours work for a novice DIYer using instructions from the Internet.

Great. Thanks.
Phew though - for a minute I was thinking that all of the doors were in danger of completely shutting!!

No. A motor in the dodgy door (there are actually 2 motors) is on the way out. This means that it doesn't always move the actuator mechanisms inside the lock on the first try. Eventually it stops working altogether, which is when that door becomes permanently closed, and is a world of pain to open again. This is why I suggested replacing the lock assembly ASAP.
