Turn the key fully to open (will be stiff) hold the door handle open as you are turning the key, door should open.  :y

Hi All,please can you advise me on how to get open a 2.5 CD that has a flat battery. i.e Central locking wont,also tried key in door,but to no avail,but i can get boot open but cant get into cab.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a long slim screwdriver to drop one of the seat backs, it can be done - i did it many years ago on my Senator when I deadlocked myself out of my delocked car by leaving the lights on.
Or you can remove the boot light and put its wires to a 12 volt supply and unlock via the remote in the normal way!  :y (Done that too when I couldn't get in using Zirk's method  :y)
