MG MGF Technical - Help, how to open bonnet with keys under bonnet

How do I open the bonnet of my F when I have locked the keys in there (really stupid of me)
As I don't have the keys I cant open the boot to activate the handle ??????????????

Thanks in advance

There is info in the archives howto do this - if you've got access to the engine bay cover from inside the car.

My "F" had no spare key+fob and I worried about locking the keys in the boot. During a thorough clean, I saw the flap of plastic hanging down at the rear, below an exhaust pipe, and I thought it was some road garbage that had become jammed in that recess. So pulled it out and chucked it in the dustbin. It seemed a bit heavy for a rolled up bag, so retrieved it to find a spare key+fob set inside! It's gotta be worth a look around the car Clive, for a hidden spare set.

Good Luck!

Opening the boot from the parcel shelf end is one way, but it's likely to be quicker to manually operate the bonnet release mechanism, again the archives IIRC will provide that method.
