Locked out

Hello,

Our 2007 mini S has been sorn for 8 months with a broken clutch. Inevitably the battery has now died and the central locking and actual key itself wont open. Also cant get into the bonnet

Any ideas appreciated on how to get into the car, thanks

Thanks both, keys dont touch it, itll be a locksmith or attempt to charge the battery from below I suppose
I would have to pull the cowl out by hand.https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-mini-parts/windshield-cowl-cover-kit-r55r56r57-with-additional-mounting-strip/51132751210kt1/
or force with a drill hole then carefully jigsaw the cowl over the battery. in order to jump start the car.
Don't change the battery hire a locksmith and the problem will be resolved.

I don't think there is any need of a locksmith to change the battery, it can be done on your own.
easy one use two long screw driver s push down where battery flap is to touch both terminals with each screw driver then use a 12volt source like another battery and jump leads while someone presses the unlock button on key fob,
