Hello locked out
Gents. I'm away from home with only 1 key with me
Went to lock the car and fob wouldn't work Managed to lock with the key as a temporary measure. Expecting it to be a simple.fob battery change Unfortunately that made no difference and now I can't even open with the key. It turns but doesn't unlock Can get in the boot but no further Any suggestions appreciated

The only paltry advice I can offer is that I know it takes a lot more effort to turn my key in one direction than the other. Not sure which way though, but I think it was when unlocking the car... which I had to do when my car key fob battery went home and I wasn't able to obtain a new battery at that time of night.
If your alarm fob is working but not opening the central locking, you could wind down the windows by pressing and holding the unlock button (if you have the close/open all feature enabled). Hope you manage to sort it out.

From memory, I think it might be possible to unlock the car from the boot (or is that lock? ... I can't check to confirm right now). And that is assuming the central locking is working of course. I think you just turn the key in the boot lock a bit further in one direction.
Failing that, do you have a ski hatch and a very small child?

Just investigated this but am hampered by the fact that whilst my key fob works, the key won't operate the boot lock so I cannot confirm what mark says above. Hope you can get this sorted soon.

If you can get in the boot can you get a kindly soul to connect their battery to yours?
Probably a battery issue. Similar thing happened to me battery went flat but I couldn't get into the boot either. Actually thinking back I could unlock the drivers door manually just not the boot.

thanks for teh replies chaps, end result was that after a lot of wiggling the door finally opened with teh key.
interesting this weekend has seen a host of random electrical gremlins since then, ABS sensor errors, coolant level errors e.t.c so I'm thinking common thread is likely to be voltage will report back once I've tried getting the fob working again but think i'll replace the battery and see if things settle down
