Perhaps one of the pressure lines has popped off?  YOu could trace the pipe back to the pump in the boot.

If its not the pump or a hose, it could be the linkage. Mine did something similar and the linkage had come loose and moved so it wasnt moving the locking mech.

I think he means the ones inside the door behind the door card.

Easy enough to get to just be gentle peeling back the plastic membrane on the door.

Yeah sorry behind the door card is what I mean... Have you taken the door card off and watched as you try and lock it? Does anything move in the door in question?

from memory i think the join is down  by the door pillar, best bet is to get someone to blow down the pipe from the pump end, while someone sits in the motor and listens for any leaks.
