First of all you need to wedge the door open, and find i long strong enough piece of wire to hook the bonnet catch.
Then jus behind the fan is a plug connector this is for your reverse light switch.
Take a piece of normal electrical wire (Copper) and touch it on the positive side of battery.
Put other end of wire into the reverse light socket not the plug and ur dash board lights, ignition lights will come on
Find another piece of strong wire to put the window down
Hey presto!!
Be careful though becasue the deadlock system is a bastard!!

My bonnet gets stuck every so often, just press really hard down on the bonnet and then try opening it again.

that method wont work, reverse light works from a switched earth so putting 12v to it wont power up the ignition live circuit.

so ow come it worked for mine then? a 12v current onto the plug lights the reverse lights. If you put it into the plug housing it lights the dash lights, switched earth or not it still works.
