02 1.9 central locking/keys - Union Jack

My daughter has recently acquired a diesel automatic to transport her large brood and, whilst it is running very well, she has experienced one or two problems on which she and I would appreciate any available advice.

Central locking appears to operate on the two front doors and the tailgate, but not on the nearside sliding door. Is this correct and, if not and it is an electrical or mechanical problem, any ideas as to what is the likely solution?

Given that no remote was received from the previous owner, does this model normally have remote control central locking?

The only spare key provided is apparently uncut, ie it has no serrations. How is this used, and is it "chipped in" some way? I am checking whether my daughter has received any form of key code for the vehicle.

Many thanks for all advice offered.

Jack
