different power locks for different years?

[morcheeba]

Heyas,<p>I have a 1996 GS model that was recently t-boned (drivers side) by an idiot who wasn't paying attention. Thankfully it's all covered by insurance. <p>The drivers door had to be replaced and now I have a question... before the accident, I swear I used to be able to lock the drivers door from the interior (it would also lock the passengers) and just shut the door normally and it would be locked.<p>Now I have to lock the door from the interior and hold the door handle up while shutting it in order for it to lock. <p>I may be crazy, but I swear I never had to do that before. I know it has to be done on the passenger side, though.<p>Do different years of Mx-3's differ in this?
