Feeling like a right daftie. Have had Cooper sitting outside for 4 weeks.
Went to open it ......nothing. Battery flat, doors won't open.
Door won't open with key in lock either.
Any suggestions? Is it possible to gain access to suitable recharge point
by removing wheel arch covers?
Thanks in advance!

THanks for the responses - confirmed that the key should open the door - clearly something wrong with locking mechanism. So what would be the cheapest window to smash?!!
Not the best idea... Im sure the aa can help with this.
My bros mate somehow locked his keys inside the car and aa came along put a balloon type thing in the top of the door, blew it up and managed to put something down and open the door!
You will be constanly finding glass if you break the glass...
What you can do with the frameless side windows is prise the glass away from the top using a couple of wooden wedges. This will allow you access to put in a device that could possible press the lock button on the center stack or lever the door handle open. I used the technique a few times whilst I was a plod.
Have you tried spraying WD40 or something like that into the lock, even try doing this a few times over a couple of days an keep trying the lock. Might just be seized.
