Your responce is much appricated.

If the remote is working the locks will cycle when you press the button "click click click". If this is the case then it is definitely the actuator. If not, it is the remote and possibly the actuator as well.

First lock the car manually and check that all doors are locked. Then see if you get the 'click click click" sound when you use the remote. If that is the case it is the spindle in the actuator that is broken but there are 2 different types of spindle. You can pull the actuator apart to determine which spindle it is and then buy on ebay for $30 or save yourself the hassle and buy a reconditioned actuator on ebay for $70. There is a guy on ebay called jimmybean who I've bought a couple off lately and been happy with.
