Car door lock not working ?

My Vauxhall Vectra 2004 Door lock will lock manualy by key but will not unlock manualy. The Fob stoped working a long time ago and have been opening and locking manualy since.
How do I remove the door panel to get to the lock from inside to see if anything has become loos as when I apply a bit of pressure on the key whilst turning to the unlock position the cylinder seems to move slighyly?

there may be a couple of screws to remove at the inner door handle and the door card usually levers off,poppers holding it onto the door assy,if you have a manual window regulator then the handle will need removed also
