The boot is locked shut so I cannot remove the lock.Would you know if there is anyway a key could be cut from a chassis number/ lock number etc?

Many thanks.
I know a couple of years back when i enquired at my local parts dept, they could do it from the VIN, was about £30 if memory serves for the laser cut key on my 760 - hopefully yours should be cheaper than that though!

However there is a caveat - once the key has been cut, it can't be uncut so the key is yours. If the locks have been changed at any point in time you have a useless key and still can't get in.

Asking a possibly silly question, if the keys are in the ignition, how are you going to get them through the boot?
