Default How to jump start car when boot lock won't work?

Hi,

I haven't used my car in about a week and i tried opening it today with the remotes (2 of them) but alas the car battery is flat somehow.

i have tried opening it manually through the bootlock to get to the battery but something appears to be jammed in there and i can only put the key in half way.

I have no ski-hatch as the rear entertainment unit is bolted in and the button by the drivers door doesn't work as it runs off the electrics.

So, is there another option?

I know on Volvos the battery is also in the boot but they have 2 points under the bonnet which allow you to jump start it from there...anyone know if we have that in our D2's by any chance?

Thanks for your help..hoping i won't be needing the AA in the morning

Oli
