Central locking problems

2004 Rover 75 1.8T, Symptoms are as follows:
1) Front passenger door lock scrap, new ordered from Rimmer bros
2) Both rears react correctly to central locking button on centre console.
3) Driver door does not react to button on centre console.
4) Unlocking driver's door with key will only intermittently open rear doors
5) Locking driver's door with key will not lock rear doors
6) Both keys will unlock rear doors with remote button but not driver's door
7) Neither key will lock any doors with remote button (diode on key does light up)

From this I gather that both solenoids in driver's door lock are dead (or wiring problems).

Also the microswitchin driver's door lock is only working intermittently. (Pointing towards general wiring problems for this lock.)

Question is why does not locking function work from key remote buttons?

Also I have a problem with the boot lock release. Half the time it works fine, the other half is repeatedly bangs away without releasing the lid. Any ideas?
