Fellas,

When I press the lock button on my key fob it will lock all doors except the rear drivers door, this door remains unlocked. Any ideas of the problem.

Regards

Just type Falcon Au Door Lock Actuator into Evilbay, there's numerous ones to pick from there.

A quick thing you can do to confirm this is with that door open, latch the lock with a screwdriver, try lock/unlock.

Not sure what you mean with latch the lock with a screwdriver? Do you mean jamm the lock, if so what will be the result?

The screw driver act's as the striker so it thinks the door is closed.

Yep, make sure it's latched properly - a 'two click action' with a screwdriver.
If it then locks/unlocks okay, the striker needs adjusting.
