Seems a common fault on the c5 estate mines the same,Theres a guy on ebay selling instructions on how to fix this for £14 i think it was however i found it on the net with very good pictures and full instructions.Apparently its a bad earth and you have to take the trim off the door to get to the wires and fit a new earth wire etc.Iv'e had the panel off the bottom of the door and that lets you get to the lock mechanism you can open the glass door from there.Iv'e not had time to do it yet but let me have your email addy and i'll send the instructions to you.

It is a very common problem but easy to fix, especially if you let someone else do it, as I did.
The guy fixing the climate control did it while he was here. Took him 10 minutes.
