I'm in!  Finally managed to loosen the tailgate lock, and then sent my daughter climbing over to the front seat to pull the bonnet release. Of course, as soon as I got the battery on charge the alarm went off - but by then there was sufficient power to be able to unlock the car. It's now on charge overnight.  Thanks for all the helpful comments.

Hold on...... when did you get a VX220!!!?

I wondered when someone would spot that...   8-)

Can I have a go?  

We'll see about that one day, maybe...  Perhaps after you've done my cambelt in the summer...

You might want MarksDTM on that or James rather than me!!

Cambelt is a nice easy job Baz

Got that cruise in yet?

i take it there is no lock on the tailgate, like on prefacelift estate?

Baz, it should turn! Just be very stiff....

Danny, red light is normal on the remote, indicates you have pressed the button.

SNAP!!!, Just tried to get into my MV6 (Facelift) Battrey's completely Flat (the 12v one), I know about this turn it hard because I got in Miggy's b4 like this but mines having none of it, if you turn it really hard it will click but still deadlocked.

I assume its because of the dead battery, I'm going to try tomorrow (too cold now) with some jump leads if I go underneath and connect +12v to the Poss on starter motor will that get back to the battery (or is there a relay in the way? or any other ways of poping the Bonnet without breaking something?

Erm, no, not quite - still sitting in a cardboard box in the study...  
Got another 10k left before the cambelt's due, which is why I said summer.  And with a new toy to play with, that 10k might take me a while longer...
