Thanks Rasmataz

The problem is that I cant open the bonnet or boot. Is there some way in which I can open the doors please with charging the battery?

Thanks for your suggestion though. I am grateful

How about trying the old standby of putting a key in the door. All cars have manual locks in addition to power.
