Just getting this right. All of the car opens from the boot but only the drivers door from the front, will it lock all of the doors from the drivers door

^^^what he said, also, will it open from the passenger door? is there a remote locking control fitted, or has there been one in the past?

your door locking is actuated by a vacuum/pressure pump in the spare wheel well, have a look there to see if the wiring has been modified in any way.

I see what you mean,,I had not though about the key,,this will mean the the switch built into the drivers door lock has failed or making poor contact.

Thank you for that

that would be the thinking malcolm, but the switches are very reliable, and the wiring too. more likely i think is the 'used to have remote control' scenario. had this on a late 107 last week, the wiring was pieced in at the pse unit, worked from boot and n/s door, not o/s door.
