Morning Everyone
I have managed to get in to the hood now by using the emergency pull cable inside the inner wheel arch, you have to remove the arch liner or loosen it enough to get your hand up and in, and the cable is in the very top left hand corner on the wheel arch, I never removed the wheel just hand it in full left hand lock.
What i will say is if you pop your side indicator/repeater out you can just see the cable, so you might be able to use a coat hanger if the end of the cable is looped or long nosed pliers if they are narrow and very long nosed, if not it's the wheel liner way.
The easier way just don't discount your battery or if you do don't shut or lock the hood ...
I also had to reprogramme the alarm to the car keys .....
Thanks to all who commented
