The solenoid has gone, needs a new one. Take off the door card, unscrew the three screws holding the lock in place and pull off the plastic fob that links a metal rod to the outside door handle. The with some fiddling about remove the old lock mechanism and go get another from the local scrap yard. I paid a tenner for mine.
