The locking actuators can be guilty for playing up. Reasonably cheap to replace, if not a bit fiddly

I had this on my 2005 HSE too, a few times whilst abroad too!

LR changed the solenoid and it has been fine since. LCFC. Receiver of threatening letters from Overfinch.

I don't, no. They are not expensive, and take around 10-15 mins to fit if you have not done one before

This has regularly happened to me whether in my D3 or now RRS.
I doubt there is any issue here...if you stop at a fuel station, and are not quick off the mark, the car goes in auto lock on the passenger doors and fuel cap. So, you have to unlock it via the fob. I've then found that you then have to unlock it again to push the flap in again. I guess its something to do with the auto lock settings..
