Isn't the central locking on a relay? Maybe you could take the relay out and put 12v into the terminals, to get the locks to open. Or screwdriver the lock itself.

can't you sit in the car with the doors shut and lock and unlock the doors a couple of times via the door pin on the inside of the door , maybe that will get the boot lock motor working

not that easy, depends on wether the boot was turned and locked seperately from the rest of the car.
What position is the key slot on the boot lock, vertical or horizontal?????

If horizontal, then no luck mate as it will be locked seperate fron the c/locking ( this was so you can lock things away safely)
If vertical, should open with the c/l
hth :cool:

take out the rear seats m8 you'll see an oval panel in the middle what's only tack welded on.
boot it in or pry the welds with a big flat screw driver,,,get it off any way,,,if you have a nipper send in a kid
but carefully,,,or get a coat hanger and retrieve keys..this panel will come off easy it's for ski's??

if youve got to 'break' in either go in through the rear light or ski hatch panel
