Peugeot 307 Central Locking/BSI Unit Nightmare!

I've had my 56 plate 1.6 petrol 307 for almost a year and have continually had problems with it, but this new one has tipped me over the edge!
My passenger door and both rear doors will not open (drivers and boot fine), from Either the inside or the outside. Tried both my key fobs and neither worked so have ruled that out. Took it to my mechanic (independent local family friend who I trust) who spent hours researching on t'internet then drove it to local Peugeot dealers who proceeding to tell him that I need a new central locking system for each doot at £150 each (even the 2 that work??) and a new BSI Unit, around £4-500. I've done lots of research myself and found people suggesting how to reprogramme the BSI Unit but I'm too scared just in case it messes some other things up as it wouldn't surprise me. Bit confused as to if I need a new BSI Unit why I'll also need 5 new locking systems because surely both can't have gone?
I've seen that this is a very common fault in modern Peugeots which is even more annoying because if they know it is this common why is it so expensive to fix?
Luckily I had it MOT'd a wek ago and it passed fine so now I'm considering part-exchanging it for something more reliable, but surely the new dealer will hold the fact it needs all that work doing against the price he offers me?
Not sure what moneysaving advise I'm expecting, i just want to vent!
Thanks for reading
