This problem started a couple of weeks ago on the front passenger side not opening on the key, unless locked and opened again and again.

The same issue has now apeared on the front drivers side and I can only open it on the key.

Typically the car is just outside it's 3 months warranty from the garage I bought it from - just my luck!! Insert expletives

From what I have read and information from my local mechanic, this is a common problem, but surely not both within the matter of a week or two.
 
Check the hinge rubbers for any broken wires inside.
 
Thanks guys I will check out the rubbers and loom later for signs of wear, breaks etc
 
Bought from a garage... SIX months compulsory warranty... consumer rights act ;)

Check rubbers in door. And check that light comes on to say door is open...

If not maybe micro switch stuck. Might need to source part.

Installation video if needed is
