Ive retrieved my car from this shop thats had the car for 6 months. Car is completely locked. No keys in site.

And of course the spars I had made years ago dont work.

How does one open the boot without keys?

 

Hi Scott

Maybe you need a Locksmith?

Cannot imagine any other way in

 

Scott,

Have a look on the parts diagram on the Jaguar website and you'll see that a rod connects the boot lock to the boot latch. A carefully drilled small hole just off centre behind the number plate and you should then be able to use a bit of wire to pull the rod and activate the boot latch.

Good luck

Paul

 

Thats what I found when googling today. Im going to try this tomorrow

 

before you do that... have you lost the key ? or do you know that the key uses 3 positions in the lock. locked, unlocks with doors and,unlocked

 

I gave the key to the shop 6 months ago. When I came back stateside this weekend I found the car on the street. Locked w no keys anywhere

 

OK then try this get the original key numbers and history of your car.

or this for the trunk boot lock

I used a hole saw and then inserted as grommet, you can see the screw inside this is the rod that opens the boot.
