oh bugger - gazthegnome - 01-10-2015
been away and the battery went flat on the car only ever opened with central locking as the key dont work on the doors any ideas on how i get the doors to unlock ?
RE: oh bugger - Paul_13 - 01-10-2015
Might be able to lie underneath and pop the bonnet. Possible on 205's, I know a 306 engine bay is tighter
RE: oh bugger - Redordead89 - 01-10-2015
Or if you cant get the bonnet open get someone with super skinny long arms to try get jump leads on the battery
RE: oh bugger - Paul_13 - 01-10-2015
Good point, or on the starter may be easier to get to
What engine is it?
RE: oh bugger - welshpug - 01-10-2015
depends which engine and equipment, I have managed to pull the cable on a non ac dt, I doubt its possible on anything xu/xud/dw with ac.
battery live is easier to get to than starter on most.

I can pull my bonnet cable no problem, worth a shot!
RE: oh bugger - Toms306 - 01-10-2015
Bit of 'penetrant' in the key barrels maybe easier?
RE: oh bugger - andyyy - 01-10-2015
Could try using string or coat hanger. I know you said the key doesn't work on the doors but does it work on the boot ?
RE: oh bugger - Redordead89 - 01-10-2015
Graphite lock lube for your door barrel! Don't use WD40!!!!!
Check your key battery if no joy with all of the above???

If you absolutely can't get anywhere using one of the easier, less time-consuming methods suggested you could take the front bumper off and then access the bonnet catch that way.

Failing all of those suggestions.................

These are depressingly easy to break in to, will send you a pm.
RE: oh bugger - Jonny81191 - 02-10-2015
Just dive under and jump it from the alternator
