Haha no mate lol because its a convertible the shell is different, its.a 2 door, the rear seats are actually bolt to the chassis, I managed to unbolt them. They were difficult seats to remove tbh, after I got them off I seen a small hole about 10cms in diametre into the boot under the hood compartment. I then had to try and move all my tools to the one side to be able to see the lock mechanism. I managed to pop it oopen with a wire coat hanger, I just about made it ! Took me about 2 hours ! Wasn't at all im$pressed !

 

Thanks anyway.

 

All sorted now.
