Hey Tony !!
welcome to the forum.
You are best asking these sort of questions in the technical forum. It sounds like your vac pump is shot. I think an electronic vac pump from just about any MB about the same age as yours will fit or can be made to fit. My brothers C280 has one in it out of an E class.
I dont think the aircon is related to the central locking on these. Best replace the vac pump & see what happens!
There are decond hand ones about if you go looking.
