Could be a fault with the driver door latch/actuator or a broken wire where it runs from the door pillar to the door.

Unless you've got a garage, I'd suggest waiting, there's thunder storms predicted. Otherwise, whenever suits you.

first simple check would be to open driver door and locate the rubber tube that runs from the pillar to the door.Carefully prise the boot off the plastic connector and check the wiring for breaks.

Brilliant advice. The electric mirrors didnt work either. On closers inspection 4 wires were broken. Both mirrors and central locking now work. One wire(I believe it was orange and black made central locking malfunction so I disconnected it. Any ideas!!????
