Is the rest of the car locked or unlocked  ??  

If unlocked you can drop the rear passenger side seat, reach through, there is a little t-handle in the boot lid to pull to over-ride the electric system.

If the whole car is locked ..... I dunno .. :(... only thing I can think of is to break a rear side window ..replacement from a scrappy might be cheaper than a locksmith ....  :(

If you've got some time on your hands, take your car pass to the dealer and they can order a new key.

My wife recently locked the car by pushing the rear door button down and slamming the door shut with keys still in ignition!!

I gently opened the door with a screw driver at the top just enough to insert a metal coathanger that I had bent over an inch and used this to spring the lock it took me 5 minutes top! Not sure if this works on the facelift though.

And I'm not even from Liverpool!

If you have to break a window in the end (how goods your windscreen) if its marked etc I would go for that & pay the excees ;)

Try hacking into the wiring loom between the front wing and drivers door.  you should be able to work carefully to find the wires that control the central locking servos - apply 12v to the correct leads and doors open.  i think someone else on here did this so may have a better idea than me
