 is there a way to open the catches on the seats from the boot?
If so...
Remove rear bumper, drill off rivets to the cupboard vent on rear drivers wing, twist the cupboard clips from the inside to open, and reach in with something long( coat hanger on a stick?) and pull the boot release.

Or pray the centre arm rest clip is loose so it can be pushed down.....?

How the hell does central locking activate on it's own  ::)
 
No that won't work, need boot open to remove bumper screws on boot lip.  :D

Yes its a bit strange that. A couple of weeks ago when it was very frosty, I wanted to leave the car running on the drive to warm up, but not wanting leave it unlocked, i tried to lock it using the spare remote fob. It wouldnt have it. just kept unlocking itself, did the same using the spare key in the lock.

Yep. Likewise, that's what I always do, (for example when de-frosting the car in the morning).

Had it happen on an old Peugeot of mine. Engine running, shut door, car locked itself.

Mr brick, meet Mr window. That was a cold and wet drive to work that morning.

I'm glad you didnt use the caber. I was pissed when I suggested that method, and on reflection I dont think it would have been cost effective.
