flat battery

can anyone tell me how to get into car if battery is flat! as none of the locks are operating.

The lock should still operate manually with the correct key. Can you not open the rear hatch?

none of the locks are working with the key, it seems as if override isnt working. it looks like i will have to get a locksmith in to break in or take out a rear window ! everyone i`v spoken to says the same,the key should still operate dooors and hatch! first option though is locksmith. thanks for your reply. let you know.

Have you used this key successfully to unlock the doors in the past? I can only guess it's the wrong key or the lock tumblers have seized from lack of use. Try freeing them up with some WD-40 or something.

yes the same key every day and yes to W.D. ! But ! and its a big but, someone told me in no uncertain terms,that someone has dissconected the rod to the lock so it will only open electrically! however, if i jack up the front there is a connection behind the rad i can attatch a battry and power the locks! so i am having a go today so will post results later i hope or its a windo out haha.
