Can anyone please help me. I am looking after my son's Lotus Elise. He is in the army in Afgahnistan and I'm trying to get the car ready for his return. Unfortunately the boot lock appears to be broken - the sylinder just rotates with the key in it but it doesn't unlock. If I push down on the key while rotating it it just sticks. I've wiggled, pushed, tried all sorts and just cannot open it. I think the lock must be broken. I cannot even get it to a garage because the battery is flat and I cannot charge the battery because it is in the boot. Aaaarrrghh! Can anyone tell me how I can get the lid open?
Many thanks in advance.

By the way does anyone know where I can get a new lock barrel from. Mine is in peices. Mostly in the diffuser as it fell out of the cover as I took it off.
