So, I got into the boot and have the release for drivers door (thanks Boss!), but thats jammed too for some reason. I can seem to see one for the passanger door...

Help please! I want to take her out bit right now, she is very, very stuck.

Cheers

The only release for the passenger door is in the passenger footwell. Sorry.

Been there done that, and that's why my bonnet catch is always left open. The only time I lock it is when I'm going on a run ie.doing more than 60, but then as soon as I stop i wind it back open again. That way you can always jump the battery and get in and going.

annoyingly, it was open for ages and i did a long run so I closed it and didnt re-open it!

if your still locked out take the fuse box out and put a battery on the + and - feeding the box this will give you power to open the doors.

There are a number of ways that I found including;

A way of running power into the car from inside the boot
A way of dropping the windows about 15% of the way down, maybe more
2 seperate techniques for getting into the bonnet.

I can only assure you the bonnet techniques work as they seemed simpler to try.

It is open, the car unlocks and I am off now to buy a new jump start pack.

My sincere thanks to boss, itsayellow, andy and everyone who posted.

As to running power in via the fuse box, any change you could explain which bits i run the power into so I dont damage anything?!

Problem solved for now though as I got the bonnet open. Just bought a power pack (£19.99 with a compressor as well from Maplins) so should be back on the road tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks again all.
