Someone educate me.

Is there a CL motor for each door, or does the CL motor in the drivers door operate for all four?

Even I know the answer to that.

Then brighten up my pathetic life with your infinite wisdom on all things Omega.

motor per door .... often - incorrectly - referred to as a solenoid. Not difficult to replace, though Kevin provided a guide on repairing the unit with new microswitches

I'll wager that Daewoo boy didn't know that.

Panto season.....I love it

I eventually got the bastard to open from the inside with mole grips while pulling on the handle. The central locking now seems to have life of it's own working about one time in twenty and only on a particular door that takes it's fancy.

I have visions of being locked out of the car with the keys in my hand. For now I may have to resort to leaving a door open. 

You've had a lucky escape.
At the very least, disconnect the central locking motor in the affected door until you get the chance to repair or replace it.

Easy job?

Take the door card off, remove the plug from the motor, reaffix the door card.

With the help of the OOF guide showing where the 'hidden screws' are located I have now unplugged the CL motor.

Managed to break the kerb light when putting everything back together though.

Swapping the motor is a doddle

There's a knack to it, which I sadly lack but follow the guides and you'll be fine

The two rear doors work perfectly with the CL.

Front passenger door works only when it can be arsed......so about one time in three.

Driver's door now only opens with the key in the lock.

[05omegav6]

Do drivers door first, then repair the old drivers door motor and fit to the passenger door

Fronts are same, rears are same but ne'er the twain shall meet...

[Steve B]

Door handles off one          http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90543.0
