door trims off and lube all the moving parts with wd 40 or something similar check all electrical connections are fine

As above, door trims off (remove plugs covering screws in arm rest, screw under door handle, pop out lock inner orange bit, pop trim loose from bottom and once clippy things are loose push whole trim up out of window channel) and cut inner plastic shield over lock area on 3 sides, (big enough to get your hand in) peel it back undo 3 star drive screws from end of door (allen key works ok) unplug solenoidy thing, unclip linkage, remove lock assembly and clean all linkages and moving parts. Solenoidy thing attaches with a couple of screws, clean plug and connector with metho if they're dirty, plug solenoid in before reassembly and test. Sometimes this works real well, sometimes the solenoid man is tired and it's time for a trip to the wreckers. Unfortunately you may not be able to say which before it's been tested for a few weeks.... After a bit of practice it doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes per door. First door probably more like an hour. take the opportunity to clean window bottom where you can't usually reach and vac fuzzy trim edge that sits against window. Getting trims back on, push into window channel first, leave trim tilted out while you get clippy men lined up and start pushing in from top and line up lower down as you go. You'll have to lie on the ground looking up into the gap to line up the clips. have fun!

Not to sell your thread however I have a problem with my VN. I can lock it and all the doors lock however it takes alot of playing with the door handle and the key in lock to unlock the locking system.

Any ideas on this one?

The switch for the lock/unlock system is part of the front door solenoidy thing as far as I know, maybe the linkage is loose between the lock and the unit? Does the central work reliably when you operate the driver door push/pull bit by hand?
