Too far away for a scan, sorry.

But that sounds more like a problem with the door connections rather than the CCU (A scan will help of course)

When you oput the key in the drivers door to lock / unlock, does that work, ior is that dead too?

If it is dead then the door wiring sounds suspect, but the CCCU problems can be wild and variable!!

Hi and welcome to the A2oc.
It's a long shot but if you are handy with the spanners it's worth checking all the connectors for the door electrics are correctly seated. This link is a 'how to' guide for the door check strap but it also shows the multi pin connectors. Even if they look to be fully home its worth removing / replacing them a few times and if possible use contact spray to clean any oxidation from the pins. - http://www.a2oc.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4107&d=1270113765

If you fancy a trip to Leeds then I have a cable, but also have taken doors appart regularly on these cars.
I agree with above post, that its likely to be a loose cable.
Could also be battery related. Lots of A2's are still on the original Varta battery (has a part number starting 8Z if you look at it in the boot). As these age sometimes they drop voltage which can lead to the various control modules going ga-ga and out of sync.
Mine did this. A new battery and unplugging and replugging the modules sorted it all out.

Thanks for that guys, If I put the key in the door I can lock all doors manualy but it does not set the alarm. I will have the battery checked and get some contact cleaner on the door connection socket, another thing how can I check door window switches.
