I find if you try to open the boot..Just turn the key that little bit harder it will open..Your in.

All you need then is someone who is small enough to go through the armrest.

You should be able to open the door with the key, if not there is another way of opening the door................. :y

Had the same problem twice recently (yes I should have learnt the first time) and using the 'wim and wigour' turning of the key in the drivers door did the trick each time. The nice boys and girls here told me that one and once again they were right.

Get some Plus Gas and start sprying it into your locks, that will make a difference when you try to use the key next time. :y

Few months ago, I soaked mine in WD40 for weeks (Spraying it in every few days), still wouldnt move... I couldnt force the key anymore without it snapping...

Other day I happend to have the drivers door trim off. I put the key in the door, and forced the key while forcing the lock on the inside of the door by hand at the same time, all of a sudden the lock turned! Thought I had snapped something at first!

I now have a key that works in the drivers door!  :y

Anyway,

I know of one way getting in when batterys flat (Nod nod), intrested how you managed it though guy :)
