I'm with LB. Wife was locked out of her '98 elite 200 miles from home (after leaving HID lights on - warning buzzer broken). A helpful passer-by ran her to the local vx dealer in Speke - the technicians had all gone home (4.45pm). Our local dealer suggested the boot light trick. The helpful passer-by fritzed the electrics. So he climbed into the boot, kicked in the ski hatch and made it to the front seat. Lifting the door button didn't work. He did pop the bonnet though and gave it a jump start. Many thanks to him for that. Wife drove home like a bat out of hell in a howling gale with all the windows down (in case the car locked her in) and speedo not working. Fortunately headlights worked. She never trusted the car again which gave me no end of grief.
