Had a complete blonde moment ::) ::) and not even blonde :D :D After having problems with the alternator I have been taking the battery off at night to recharge, to get kids to school in the morning :y Last night I locked the car with remote and then removed the battery to charge ::) didnt think anything of it until the penny dropped and now of course I can't get in it :-/ I have tried turning the key and lifting the handle and all the other methods involve jump starting the car in different locations. But if I have no battery then this won't work :-? :-? Son has exam at 11am, live in a village and only local with transport is going to a funeral today so PLEASE HELP!!!

The key will work Ali, but it will be very hard to turn.
-
ok thanks will go and have another go :y The door has dropped a bit and so on a good day it takes two hands and I have to lift it up a bit, so maybe making it harder. Wasnt sure if battery had to be connected for this method and didnt want to break the key :o
-
Doesn't want to open :'( any other ideas :-?
-
have you tryed wd40 in the lock if still no joy and i'm not being nasty personaly i'd put a brick through drivers window and claim the insurance tell them a passing lorry put a stone through it
your excess should only be a max of £70 or cheaper
-
the key should work but believe me, you will think its going to snap the key :o
other then that, try jacking the front of the car right up and see if you can get a battery charger on the alternator or starter terminal :y
12 volt ( red one ) and the black ( neutral ) onto a bear metal piece of the car :y

after trying the key....try the handle....the door pin may not have risen, but the door can still be open :y

Not an option as I only want to get in it to sort the alternator and sell the bloody thing asap ;D ;D ;D to top that, just got back from the garage with the petrol estate and that has failed on more things than it did the first time :'( :'( :'( I official hate my cars and they are going on ebay tonight, so watch out for a bargain :D :D :D :D But I will go and try the keys again when Ive calmed done a bit :y :y :y Also can not jack it up as the bloody jack is in the boot :(

Can you get in through the tailgate?
-
As said, try WD40 on the lock, moral, always keep the lock well lubricated, you never know when you will need to open it with a key.
I oil mine regularly, with 3:1 oil.
