@martyuk where's the best / easiest place to pick up the pink & orange wires so I can apply 12v to them? Can I just unplug at the becm end and try there or is there somewhere closer to the latch end I can get them without taking loads of trim apart?

Easiest place would be to remove the plug from the BECM that carries them and use the pins on that i suppose. But study the diagrams as the N/S and O/S rear CDL, Common and Superlock are the same colour codes. Martyuk may answer when his embarrassment wears off.

Update:

You can remove the rear door card with the door shut, with a little persuasion.

Removing the door card and slicing through the foam allows access to the cable for the latch motor.

Applying 12v to the wires did nothing for either polarity.

Breaking the motor off the latch allows you to manually shove the gear round which disables the superlock....

The door now locks / unlocks via the inside lock tab, just the central locking doesn't do anything which I can live with until I pick up a new latch assembly.

Interestingly the motor works fine now it's out of the latch, I can hear it spinning when I lock via the fob.

Watch those motors! They're 5V. So, a pulse of 12V only or you will fry it.

Is it possible to get the door card off with the door shut? (I'm not near the car at the moment so can't check myself!)

yep. no part of the door card extends into the doorshut

For anyone else contemplating this you can't start at the bottom like you would if the door was open as there's no space to get leverage from underneath. I started at the top, there's enough give in the door card to 'persuade' the metal bit to come over the lip of the door, then you can push the bottom of the card off from the inside.
