Question central locking

hi all, this might sound crazy,but when the weather is warm,or hot (in the uk) the rear drivers door dont lock with the remote or by hand.
when it's cold,or wet the car locks fine with all four doors.

short of stripping the door down, any advice ,ideas as to what the problem could be.

thanks

mark.

Most likely the lock actuator. When the weather is hot parts expand so there in may be your problem, expanded parts binding. I would give it a shot of WD-40 and see if this frees it up.
