:roll: :lol: I've done this as well. Have you got the front panel attached? I didn't have a front panel or grill so managed to avoid embarassment and reach in and pull the release lever by hand. Not sure what to do if you can't reach it :-?

Jack it up safely, use axle stands as well, roll up your sleeves and get on your back

I've PM'd Tom with a solution. As there seems to be a lot of spammers on here at the mo I didn't want to announce to the World how to do it.......

Hahaha, when this happened to me I ended up using an extremely long and pointy drill bit with the car jacked up...
