i am guessing here but do you need to turn the key into the ignition for about 10secs to program the key with car? Try that!

I had exactly this problem,
Your door actuator has gone, costs around £100 to be replaced and fitted.

Hi all, I'm new to the (very helpful) forum.
I have just picked up my "new" 03 MCS and I seem to have the same problem - except my car alarm sometimes, but not always goes off when I manually unlock the door. Also I cannot unlock the boot! Probably covered by the garage warrenty but it's helpful to know what the problem is likely to be.
Thanks.
