This is starting to play up. Front doors were fine but now the drivers side won't operate on the fob, passenger one will.
But the passenger one will operate if I manually push/pull the drivers door plunger.
So is it the actuator in the drivers door at fault?
Alarm works fine.

Could be a microswitch or bad connection but most likely the actuator motor. If you take the lock actuator out and unscrew it you'll see the motor. It just pops off on mine. Connect it up to an old battery (or yours, I guess) and see if it spins.

Could also be linkages gummed up.
I've found door outer handles are particularly prone to not opening doors if not lubed.
