[stribo]

Have you got RAC or AA cover, they'll get in in no time.

[claymore]

can you jack it up and get jump leads on the chassis and starter?

[graemewelch]

could always try a coat hanger. its worked for me in the past but claymores idea sounds better

[T5frankie]

good idea colin

[Rudeyboy18]

Aa have broken into 2 of my cars with no permanent damage. Defo worth calling them

[stephenevans99]

Can't you remove the weather strip at the bottom of the window and use the old bent coat hanger trick....worth a try

[Jamest5r]

Pull the top corner of the door it will flex enough then wedge it with something and slide coat hanger in and pull the lever back simples :)

can you jack it up and get jump leads on the chassis and starter?thanks for that col works great me is happy

Better than trying to force things ;) can you tell that I'm talking from previous experience.....lol

That's an awesome idea Colin.
Quick question. Though woody, did you fit a rear handle to de-lock it?

Thanks mate, will keep an eye out! ;)

[Kingsford G]

You beat me to it Collin.

[Dangerous Dave]

Or don't de-lock it in case your battery goes flat :P

Thought about doing it with mine, but with my luck the battery would die and at some point I would be stuck

[jdavis]

Had to do the same with a ford explorer that and been left with battery flat and key wouldn't work. works a atreat

For the record James, if the car is deadlocked, that method won't work.

surely you cannot use a coathanger or whatever impliment because it is deadlocked anyway?
the only way is get power to the system. - smashing the window will only allow access to the bonnet pull. can you get in through the grille on these? not sure.

[WOODY T5]

Dint think these 850's ad dead locks tho

[jdavis]

Get power to the car Dean and you'll be sorted. Starter motor, any where really.

standard across the whole range

standard across the whole range

they do for any with a guard 2.1 or 2.2 alarm late 1995-1997. incidentally, I believe these are not thatcham cat1 due to having no immobiilser chip in the key.

on the 1992-1994 ones with the early alarm, you put the key in the door and turn 1/4 to lock, then turn again from top and it goes around further to 1/2 turn and activates the deadlocks.
