It turned out to be 2 faults: first, the central locking pump had an intermittent failure; and second, there was a mecahnical link in the driver's door that was disconnected.
The latter had clearly been the result of a previous owner fiddling about behind the door card and not reconnecting the link, but I'd never noticed because I'd never tried to unlock the door with the key.

Ah, great thanks.
That further confirms it. Gotta be a mechanical linkage I reckon.

I actually don't have many photos of it, but I will take some soon and post a proper intro. I've just spent over 3K on the car in fact, getting it back to showroom condition, so I think some photos are definitely required.
Here's one from a couple of years ago:
