I find if you try to open the boot..Just turn the key that little bit harder it will open..Your in.

All you need then is someone who is small enough to go through the armrest.

You should be able to open the door with the key, if not there is another way of opening the door................. :y

Had the same problem twice recently (yes I should have learnt the first time) and using the 'wim and wigour' turning of the key in the drivers door did the trick each time. The nice boys and girls here told me that one and once again they were right.

Get some Plus Gas and start sprying it into your locks, that will make a difference when you try to use the key next time. :y
