Is it a disco? A sticking C/L actuator may be, but depending on the model then.......

I agree broken spring unlock the doors & get someone to hold the button up on the inside if the outside handle works then i'd say definitely the spring.Make sure you get the right spring they are handed.

got the same problem on me front drivers door absolute pain in the arse. Get out at a petrol station fill up go have me eyes taken out then when I come back look like a div having to reach round through the back door just to be able to get back in the ****er or using the key even though it's just opened on the button. Door pin rises but is about 1mm too low so the ****er still wont open so either got to push it up the last little bit with the key or reach round and pull the pin up and whn you shut the door it drops just that little bit so ya can't open the fooker again

The tailgate was the only one I didn't have to change on my old Disco, but after doing the first one of the other doors I got it down to about 30 mins, start to finish once I knew what to do..
