Remove the drivers door card and check the locking mech.As is plastic it is'nt un common for them to snap. Try your local scrap yard - but you may find that a lot of the drivers side door handles and locks are gone due to your problem!
I f the car still un locks via the passenger door then it wont be the central locking system which is powered by a small 'black box' in your boot.
