I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins see if it resets,the door panels inside are easy to get off to check out what's happening in there but I'm not sure it would be possible with the door shut ?

whatever you do, do not ask as Welsh copper.

Mate locked keys in car and asked a Welsh Copper if he could help. He did. Put his truncheon through the side window.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Problem Solved.

How was it solved ?

I press on the door open button on key fob several times until you see both green arrows of the indicators on dashboard flashing meaning that it has accepted the mode and the car now is on a none locking stage, you won't be able to lock the car doors with the key fob, however to reverse it back you repeat the same process but this time you press on the lock button until the indicators flash again, I open the car as normal and pull on the stuck door handle and it open up, it has now been working fine for over a week.

cool tip

Most likely needs a door latch and will fail again.

Just to give you an update on the lock, since doing the locking-unlocking with the key fob last month the lock is still operating as normal.
Thanks

And is that door lock still working?

Hello Dave,
Yes still working and I've not had any problems since. I have opened and closed the door either from the inside and outside many many times, fingers cross it should stay like this for a long time to come.

Rangerider, I pressed the unlock button many times - probably about 20 times in quick succession before the car went into the unlock status with the green arrows both flicking a couple of times on their own.
I do not know the exact number of times or the interval between button pressings but it worked in the end!
After going into the unlock mode I pressed the lock button - also many times and the car reverted back to normal mode - reacting normal on the lock and unlock buttons.
And the tailgate back to normal as well!!
