Yeah, i knoiw, not the brightest thing to do, and no spare set.

Any idea on best way to get them out?

Cheers

Is the car it's self locked as well?

If there's no way of getting into the car itself, the answer is to press the boot lock in with a 1/2 inch socket extension and give the end a good smack with a lump hammer. It often does enough to pop the boot open, but the lock will be buggered.

if the cars not locked isnt it possible to remove rear seat and gain access through the ski hatch thing?

The car itself is not locked, but as far as i can see there is no way into the boot from inside the car. Looks like i might have to give the socket a shot.

Remove the rear bench and knock the ski hatch plate out... Its already pre cut and it only held in place by a few small bits of metal. a few direct strikes and they pop.

Means you dont have to replace the lock and have a seperate key for your boot.

i did mention that fact right above the op's post
, i ahd the same happen to me and accessed the boot in the same way, much easier than fitting a new lock
