Does the lock button look like it's jumping when you lock it via the remote? Usual suspect is the spring inside the lock, only a couple of quid to buy but a right PITA to replace.
Check all the linkages as well for free movement and grease them where necessary - sounds like the problems could all be related.

sounds to me like the cental locking servo thing... (the eletrical box that pops in and out) i have had this in my boot door before they are not that hard to change you could swap it with a working one to rule this out
