Right i have taken off the door card but dont realy know what im looking for,now when i go to unlock or lock this lock wont work i can hear it trying working but it will not lock or open it does move slighty but not enough to pull the catch down or up any idears to what it could be????

I believe this means you need a replacement locking motor. Some people on here have succesfully removed it, cleaned it up and it has worked again. I prefer to buy a new one to save the hassle if it goes again in a weeks time. But that is just personal opinion.
Just make sure no rods have dropped off and jamming the mechanism.
Also it is not unheard of for the door catch mechanism to become very stiff, or even break.
Case of take it out see what you can see.

ok,is it hard to get out i have looked on the how to`s am i right in thinking that i just remove the too rods 1 at the top that conects to the door handle and the other that is locked in that does the inside door handle then undo the 3 torx screws then the lot is free? cheers.
-
Pretty much yes. On re-fitting make sure the exterior handle adjuster sits in it's receiving ring properly before putting the 3 x torx bolts back it ;)

Cheers will give it ago now.
