Default Key doesn't unlock all doors or deactivate the alarm

Went to open the car today with the fob and it wouldn't open. My main problem though is with the key, it was just unlocking the drivers door and not the rest or not deactivating the alarm so when i opened the door the alarm was going off. Eventually after a good few tries it opened all doors and the central locking worked... but once only, very temperamental.

Any ideas as to why its doing this?

As the fob was working i believ the pump is ok (non sunroof model too) going to try and resync the fob later on. But as a back up it would be nice to be able to manually open the doors with the key.

Could there be a dodgey switch or something within the drivers door? Are the door panels/cards easy to remove?


Cheers for the help
