yes - take the door trim off and replace the hose.  The central locking as you've probably guessed is pnumatic (air) powered.  After years of use the hoses can split.  See my blog as i've recently taken that door apart to solve a wiring issue.  http://javalins.wordpress.com

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
