Door Locks

[Nessy]

I have recently aquired my first Chimaera. On 2 occassions now the passenger door catch has failed to operate when the door is closed. I have switched on and off a couple of times and the second time I fiddled with the latch. The catch eventually reverted and operated correctly. Anyone any idea as to cause/remedy?

Thanks for that, I don't think that I phrased my question too well though on re reading it. My problem occurs when the door is being closed after the passenger leaves the car and the door catch appears to be stuck open so that the door slams but is not held. Could be though similar causes to those that you explain?

Thanks all for your suggestions, I am trying them all in succession!
