vectra door wont open ??? nor the boot :o(

[grabster]

Hi, ive got a problem with the f/passenger door on my wifes 96 vectra, i locked the doors with the remote while the doors were still open ,closed the door and now i cant open the p/door no more. The catch wont lift up either...any ideas ??? It only happened cos the boot lock is a bit fiddly sometimes and today i slammed the boot closed now i cant turn the key in the lock. how can i open the boot from the inside ? My 12 yr old son is a touch on the lanky side so i can send him in with a screwdriver to do the necessary if its possible ;o) Idont think that the 2 problems are connected regardless of what my wife thinks,she is blaming me big style so any help / advice would be well recieved.

Possibly could be the central locking solenoid - I had this problem with the petrol locking cap - on the red and I couldn't get it open. Left the cap unlocked for now but you might want to get a quote on a new one if it is that.....
