   aup karl, if by bouncing u mean comes back up after u lock it i might b able help as i had the same problem, all i did was take me door card off and sprayed wd40 everywhere, in the locking mechanism and even in the key hole, keep locking and unlocking as you do it and it should sort it out,

   not been bothered to take the door card off yet as said previously it only does it sometimes, f.a.o danny what ive found is it locks n probs from the passenger lock try that mate. or just hold it round on drivers side.

   If you take the drivers side doorcard off and get your hand inside the door there is a little black box that has the door pin attached to it via a white bit of plastic. It sounds to me like this white bit of plastic is coming off the black box when you try to lock. At this point try locking the door with the fob and see/feel if this is the case. If so all you need to do is twist the whole of the black box by 45 degrees to the right, which ensures that the white bit of plastic doesn't come off black box when you press the lock.
   
   (Sorry for the lack of names of parts etc, but this sounds the same as what happened to mine last month and by doing this it sorted mine out and haven't had a problem since)

    I had this for a while after i took my cards off...my release handle for inside the car had slipped sLIGHTLY out of its place..thats all it was.. just clipped it back into place and very carefully clipped the door card back on making sure i clipped it around the handle first so it was stable.
