Some with VY/VZ's will be familiar with problems with locking the car, often being caused by the actuator.
1. Disconnect battery
2. Remove Door trim and peel back the plastic guard to allow access to the rear half of the door. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/removing-vy-vz-door-trim.70606
3. Disconnect the clip on the link for the interior handle, then remove the link from the door.
4. Disconnect the clip on the link for the exterior handle, the link should now just pull up and out so it will be out of the way.
5. Loosen the 3 screws below the lock. They are Torx screws, but you can get away with using a close sized hex if you're like me and don't have any torx bits. Then unplug the actuator from the loom in the bottom corner of the door.
6. Remove the 3 screws fully and lower the assembly out of the door.
A bit of CRC contact cleaner wouldn't go astray in the connections at this point whilst the assembly is out.
For Re-assembly just do it in reverse.
Hope this helps someone
