It usually happens in hot weather. No chance last weekend!
Just open the boot if your locked out the special way (ring dealership or email me for details)
On top of the fuel tank (behind carpet) you will find a small black box - look for one called central locking or similar description.
The box has two connection blocks. The small connector has I think two wires (black and red I think), careful remove the connector from the control box and leave off for 60 seconds. Reconnect and you should be fine.

This happened to me on the weekend after some hard driving on the Robb Gravett course.
After completing a few (blisteringly quick
) circuits in the afternoon, the electrically operated door opening mechanism failed and I found myself locked in the car with Cate (one of the instructors). Whilst this in itself, was not an entirely unpleasant situation to be in 
, I guess it was a bit embarrassing. A manual door-opening was (eventually) required.
However, after the car had cooled off for a bit, everything returned to normal working state.
Equally, after I had cooled off for a bit, I returned to something approaching my normal state too
