Help!- cannot lock car.

Had a problem with boot lock some time ago. Can't open it by hand, but can with fob so have not bothered to replace it
yet. Had problem this morning, boot would not open with fob, but corrected itself during the day. Just gone out to lock it, and the horn sounds, indicating a door open. Checked every door and boot, no success, horn still sounds, so cannot lock it. AND I'M GOING AWAY TOMORROW!! Any ideas please?? Bow down Bow down 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

Firstly, find a sleeping bag, pillow and get comfy in the back, seats laid down helps, do not deadlock the car and loose keys

Secondly don't tell people your going away with a unlocked car.......pops too late Mr. Green Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Been away, just got back. It was the bonnet that was open, although it looked shut! Embarassed Whistle
Now sorted, thanks for your help! Thumbs Up 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

Just a thought if it keeps happening

I had the exact ssame issue with my previous FL2. bonnet micro switch was dying so when you closed the bonnet you had to really push down once closed. Occasionally message would flashup whilst driving. switch replaced under warranty and never saw the issue again.
