Door locks are weak on these, and this is a common problem. You need to replace the lock unit inside the door - had to do ours. Not that dear from Citroen.

Re: picasso intermittent central locking
I knew somebody who had an issue with his remote being intermittent. It was down to the transmitter crystal in the keyfob. I believe it was a 20MHz crystal (I am NOT certain of this) and when he replaced the crystal the problem went away.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
