The lock barrel is broken so a new key will not unlock the door. A new key will have the correct chip to start the engine, but it needs to be programmed to open the doors. A new key has to be programmed to open the door and that is not going to happen until you gain access to the inside.

If you do decides to break the glass I have a passenger side (right side door) or driver side window if you are driving on the right side of the car. Shipping will probably be prohibitive.
Our money still has the Queens head on it my friend, rightly or wrongly, we have decided for Brexit and the madness that is to leave the Germans and French (mainly the Germans) to continue to pay for Europe... (well Greece!)

Anyway, I have locked my Keys in the boot once and the Pano Roof was open in the slide position. I climbed up, got in and then the alarm went off and lights flashing. I then scrambled to the boot where I unlocked my car and opened the boot, where I calmly got out of the boot. Everyone at the local supermarket was looking at me thinking WHAT THE HELL.

In any case I was lucky. Hope you get it sorted.
