    Assuming the deadlocks aren't on I'd try the wire coat hanger down the door trick!

    As per Lugy's suggestion, you also might find it easier to carefully prise off the window trim and shine a torch down there to see what you're doing!

    Can you get under that bonnet? I remember reading that disconnecting and reconnecting the battery would unlock the car, that might not have been a Vauxhall though!

    break the boot lock in, you'll do minimal damage and easily replaced parts.

    short of "bashing" the door locks that's your only real way in.

    being an old car "bashing" the lock will probably be fairly easy if you can find another vauxhall key.

    I've also heard tales of going in through the wheelhouse and activating the central locking by grounding out the trigger wire on the door loom. Don't know how true this is or how easy it would be to get at it if you can.
