 | I've locked my keys in the boot, what do I do?
 | there is only one method that can be discussed openly, this is
known as the Treffen method, so called because someone locked their
keys in the boot whilst on a trip to Germany with some fellow MG'ers.
The method was developed by Andy 'Scarlet Fever' Phillips and others.
Andy posted on MG-Rover.org explaining this method, read it
here.
You may want to get a spare key cut to keep in your wallet for the
next time. Alternatively, you may want to consider fitting a
remote boot release.
