Pull the boot release mechanisim assuming the cabin is open? I know it's a silly answer but just in case you didn't realise there was one!

If not, a PM to Paul Woods may be a good idea, he may know of a trick to get you into the boot.

i didnt actually know there was one? out of curiosity where is it? but that dosent help as the cabin is locked.

[mk1alex]

haha ive just spotted it next to the fuel filler relese i had seen that just never really used it.

[mk1alex]

still dosent help tho as i cant get in there either. does anyone know if the RAC break the lock when they get into cars for people?

Phone or email Paul Woods, he has a trick of how to get in but for obvious reason you will not find this on a public forum.


I'm glad my suggestion was a good one even though you are still locked out! ha ha

No spare key?

[mk1alex]

Let us know if/when you get it sorted

And if you want to come and meet some other Mr2 owners, get yourself along to JAE , see events section, it's THE event of the year

Alex ignore my Pm on the Mk1 club, i didn't realize you are locked out of the cabin too, i can get in within seconds and then you can pull your boot release.

Sending PM now.

Hi Paul,
Can you send me that info too as I have done the same in the past and had to dig out a grommet etc etc etc to get my keys back.

Thanks
Bod

thanks everyone for the replys, ill let you know how it go's im going to make sure i have the right tools for the job befor i do this and try my hardest not to break anything

[mk1alex]

thanks to everyone who replied, job done, i got in with no damage to the car.

Good to see you got in okay. Did the solution involve a length of welding rod by any chance?

I have also done this
The RAC will come out and get into your car without damage but after watching him and then a year or so later doing it at the restoration show I got in my car depressingly easy TBH
