Neil - use a torch if necessary; tell me if you can't identify the release hole.
Yes I can see the little black circular thing through the gap in the door at door handle level.

Popping the bonnet from under the car is quite easy really. Once you've done that you're halfway there
I would be ecstatic if I managed to pop the bonnet from under the car without destroying anything. It would open up a few more solutions to the problem of getting into the car. Chris if you or any other forum members have an idiots guide to how to do it that would be great

If its a manual gearbox try getting the reverse light switch unplugged, back feed the ignition wire with a spare battery with the earth connected to the gearbox. This puts the ignition on & press the windows down with a rod
Alternatively you can go to your rear manual windows.......
It has a manual gearbox so If the bonnet manages to get popped this may be a possibility. It also has rear electric windows
I think getting the bonnet open if possible would be major progress towards solution.
Thanks
