    Cant get in the car !!

    Went to get in the car and nothing happened except flashers flashed, got out the car and locked it and flashers went off. Couldnt do anything as it was 0630 and I went to work in my other car.

    Tried to get in the car today, nothing, no lights or anything?

    Just unlock the car manualy with the key, open the bonnet and pull the lead off the alarm siren. Sounds like you have a fault with either your central locking or your alarm.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Just a bit worried as there was nothing, no dash lights, no glimmer of life. Hacked off a bit

    Sounds like somethings draining the battery.

    Mine done the same the indicators flashed but there wasnt enough power to operate the c/l

    Have a right good check that theres no lights or anything still on, thats when you get it going again

    If its an estate the boot light is always an easy one to miss, the solenoid in the boot can be dodgy causing the light to stay on, mine does it, ive just set it not to come on at all.

    If you've got no dash lights etc, then it's probably just a flat battery. Once you get in the car you should be able to jump start it and all will be well again.
