180C taken battery out and locked the boot

[Badger UK]

I feel a little stupid but....

In an attempt to replace the battery in my wifes car I got as far as taking the old one out but then shut the boot. Now I can't open it again.

You've probably guessed that we haven't got a valet key!

I've tried to put power throught the cigar lighter but to no avail. Tried to remove the back seat etc, etc...

Any ideas?

Thanks for the info, I will try it all again tomorrow. However I am a little worried that many of these options will only work with a flat battery and not a missing battery. But I will keep trying. Thanks.
