It's a very rewarding fix to do the DLA but it's not a beginner job. 7/10 difficulty but antibody fairly handy can do it. It's nearly impossible to find the motor with long enough shaft so i just pull the brushes off new motors sand swap them.

You lost me with comment on not being able to open door, at the moment central locking works all round except the drivers door, so this door stays in unlocked position unless I manually lock the door with the key...not sure how this will be affected by primary motor failure, or maybe you are talking about the rest of the doors that don't have key access so failing motors in them means stuck closed? at moment to be frank i leave drivers door unlocked(but car is alarmed) as most of the time x5 is in a vicinity to me where i will hear alarm go off, if i make a visit to a location where i will leave it unattended and ot able to hear it i manually lock the door too after activation of alarm
