Try one of the other doors with the key surely it works in one door. Are you a member of a breakdown company or try a locksmith they have little pump up airbags that you slide in the top of the door frame, then you pump it up so the frame moves out allowing a blade to get at the unlocking mechanism.

I managed it in end up and no changed battery last week that wasn't the problem so don't know what could be only drivers side door worked need to look at having all 3 locks changed I think. I just kept Turning key round and eventually must have caught the mechanism. Darent lock the doors now tho

As we have remote locking, the locks never get used. Mine does this. And one I had years ago as a company van too. Jiggle the key in the lock, and spray a bit of wd40 or similar in there, the lock will soon come back to life.

Please, DO NOT use WD40 in the lock!
Use a proper Lock oil, preferably with PTFE additives.
