    why wont the key open the door? is it the wrong key or something? the key (if the right one) should still unlock the door manually it will just be a little hard as its got to move the actuator in the door just dont wrench it to hard or you might snap your key!

    no it doesnt,i thought it would but cant remember if it did,i just got the car back from the panel beaters and dont know weither thay have stuffed it or the spare key in the centre console is the one that opens it,shouldnt the key that goes into the ignition be the one to open the drivers door...

    should do mate but not always as some one could of had the ignition barrel replaced @ some point or the outside door locks ect! Best bet from here would be to call a lockie or racq!

    Its a common myth that this window is the cheapest to replace, but its the opposite, this is the most expensive to replace. Just smash the drivers window if you still need to get in.

    Also check the how to section, pretty sure theres one in there of how to open the bonnet from outside the car.

    Put the key into the drivers door lock and turn it clockwise, it will be tight but it will turn, this will unlock the drivers door.

    If you have simply flattened the battery, jack your car up and use stands. then connect a battery charger red lead to the thick wire on your starter motor and the black wire to a chasis bolt. leave charging for a couiple of hours and give it a shot

    this should work...


    if not, grab a small plastic/wooden chock, jam it into the top of the door jam (window area) this will give you 1cm access or so to play with, now get a coat hanger and bend it to access the door lock. if you have never done this before (and by the sounds of things you havent) then it may take you any where from a minute to a few hours.

    Ill come over and break in your car for 20 bucks if you want
