interesting collection of problems you have there....

first thing to check: take off the door trims and have a look at the mechanisms. see if something is jammed/ rusted/ broken.

has the previous owner(s) ever had the keys changed? does the key you have work in the boot?

from what i have found, there are 2 types of key. the normal key (unlocks all doors and boot, starts car, locks glove box) and the valet key (only unlocks doors and starts car).

maybe something got switched or replaced at some point?

how long have you had the car/ this issue?

Ok well ill take off the door trims tonight after work. How much would a new locking system cost roughly?

and im pretty sure the keys havent been changed or swapped because it works in the boot and glove box, ive got a feeling its just the actuall central locking or just the inside the door thats the problem because it sort of slips when i try to lock the door and doesnt catch on so hopefully its nothing too major, i just want to know a price really.

Thanks heaps.

how worn is your key? do you have multiple keys?

i noticed with mine, i only have one key (which turned out to be the valet key so i can't open the boot >.< ) and it was well worn and therefore not always working in the driver's door, but worked fine in the ignition barrel.

got a new key cut for like $10 and it works better in the door, but only a certain way up.

no idea on a new lock. if it is the central locking system/ the motor drives for the central locking, you can pick up new sets fairly cheap from any auto place.

also, get your good friend Mr. WD-40 to help you. spray the crap out of the mechanism see if that helps.
