Have you got RAC or AA cover, they'll get in in no time.
can you jack it up and get jump leads on the chassis and starter?
could always try a coat hanger. its worked for me in the past but claymores idea sounds better
good idea colin
Aa have broken into 2 of my cars with no permanent damage. Defo worth calling them
Can't you remove the weather strip at the bottom of the window and use the old bent coat hanger trick....worth a try
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 :)

Glad you got in without damaging your car mate. :D Nice one Col
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;675815]thanks for that col works great me is happy[/QUOTE] 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?

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

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.
Dint think these 850's ad dead locks tho
Get power to the car Dean and you'll be sorted. Starter motor, any where really.
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;679162]Dint think these 850's ad dead locks tho[/QUOTE] standard across the whole range
[QUOTE=p fandango;679436]standard across the whole range[/QUOTE] 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.
