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

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

[Kingsford G]

You beat me to it Collin.

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

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.

[partsforvolvos.com]

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
