Help!

My 320 cab has decided to lock me out - no battery problems but the central locking's just stopped working. I've managed to get in and remove the actuators so I can just use the key but the trouble is the system still thinks it's locked so I can't open the petrol flap to refuel.

I've heard there's an emergency release for the flap in the boot but can't find it. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction??

My central locking didn't work when I first got my car. Turned out to be a cable had become disconnected behind the glove box (not sure which colour one, but worth a look).

As for the petrol cap lock, I think u can get to it from inside the boot (remove the boot wall lining), but not 100% sure cos I've never looked.

Hope this helps!
