Yaris 2010 Central Locking issues etc.

[xenole999]

Probably need to start looking for a new car this year as getting issues with my 2010 Yaris 1.33 manual petrol car.

Firstly, central locking issues.

The rear passenger door doesn't work at all.  In order to open or close the door, I have to use the door switch, and this works without any issues.

The front passengers side has locked completely twice in the last two months.  The key fob does not open the door, and neither does the  key in the driver's side.  The door switch just springs back, so the door cannot be opened from either inside or outside.

That said, after two days of being unable to open the door, it suddenly opened fine last night.  

Tried the rear driver's door, that had been issue free, and this wouldn't open this morning.

Seems actuators / switches seem to be going or have gone.  Or possibly something isn't connecting and bumpy roads are knocking something in/out of place.  Watched a YouTube video of how to change things but can't remove the door trim as easily as on the videos and if the doors locks, not as easy if open.

 

Oil burn is probably excessive.  Re-filling every month, although driving c1000 miles/month.

Noisy start-up for a couple of secs.  Could be the timing belt here?

Sometimes stalls in low gears when the clutch is (partially) depressed.  Judders a bit as well.

Sure there's too much engine heat.

Amber engine light is on and car has been to two Toyota dealers who don't seem to have done a thing.

Age related rattles, shocks probably not at 100%, not that quiet at speed etc.
