    Default door problems

    my doors make this noise when i unlock them and i know it's the actuator, but im not sure if its the front drivers door or the door behind it, or mabey both, i press unlock and the drivers door unlocks and makes a noise, then i press unlock again and all the doors unlock and the noise goes off again, but im not sure which door it's coming from, but sometimes the back door struggles to unlock, so im thinking its that one, so i was either going to replace it or i was wondering could i just disconnect it so i can lock/unlock that back door by hand so it wont make that noise when i unlock it with central locking, also my drivers door has been struggling to close, it feels like its begining to sit lower then normal, any help would be appreciated

    It'll be the drivers door actuator that is the main problem and to find out exactly what is going on I would remove the trim and watch whilst it is actuated. Same for rear door. Both will benefit from a good spray of WD40 as they do get glugged up with dust/dirt/crap. So first step is remove the trims.

    So what have you done so far to fix them - have you removed trims etc and sprayed them or what?
