Angry Disco2 Doors wont unlock

Hi I am new to this so here goes My 2004 face-lift disco has problems with the door locks they will all lock via key or remote but only the passenger door will open on the fob and only the drivers door will open on the key, the other doors including the rear door will only open by the inside handle. when using a key or remote you can hear the locks trying to unlock but that is all. This is a right hand drive. Was told it could be a fuse box issue, has anyone had this problem and had it sorted? any help would be appreciated thanks.

Do they work when you hit the interior unlock button on the dash? If not, do they unlock if you hit button more than once? If so, you need to replace the lock actuators in the doors, and check/lube the linkage while you're there. Do one door at a time to see if it solves your problem. Typical for everything to get sticky in cold weather.

No the only way I can unlock them is pulling the lever on the inside of the car.

Ok, so you don't have electrical problems; the actuators are worn/dirty and need replacement. So pick up an actuator for the driver's door first, reference a video to R&R it;
When you are satisfied that you fixed your problem, take care of the other doors when you can. Good luck!
