Door actuator problems, maybe?

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help. Drivers door wont open from the inside or outside. It's a topic that's been covered on here a few times. Mechanism makes all the right noises but still wont open.

The garage I had the MOT at managed to get my door open and replaced the door latch mechanism, great, it got me through my MOT. 2 days later and I'm back to square one. I can't get in or out of my drivers door. My question is, could it be the actuator? I'm under the impression the actuator turns the signal from the fob into the mechanical motion required to release the door but does the actuator also control a manual lock opening as that doesn't open the door either? 

I'm running out of bits to replace and my Bill's are getting bigger. 

Any one any advice they can offer?

 

Thanks in advance, 

Hayd.

Or maybe the door handle itself? Is the inner door release connected to the outer mechanism via cables and link rods? 

I'd strip it all down and take a look but that's easier said than done when the door's closed 🤦‍♂️
