Rear Door Lock - Sticking Cable/solenoid. (07 Plate)

[djacks42]

Hi - as per the title, I have a rear, near-side door lock which is not operating (latch/unlatch) on first/second press of the fob. It does not feel overly-stiff compared to the other doors, but I can see the locking handle is only moving maybe 1/2 way in/out with central control. I have had the trim off and greased the cable as much as I can get to, but it only improved a little. I will try again and this time disconnect the latch from the exterior handle (to remove out of door completely, but I am not sure what else might be sticking right now - could the solenoid be at fault and can it be cleaned/oiled? Thanks. 

 

Btw - new clutch/DMF/hydraulic actuator a couple of weeks back, £900. Won't use Mr Clutch again as they left the engine mounts loose - not ideal.

I don't think its the door solenoid its got some thing to do with dead locks I think, but could be wrong
