I was working on the OH's 2001 9-3 2.0t convertible when the doors decided to lock themselves with the keys inside!
Any ideas? frown

My OH's car does not have an unlock switch! frown
Luckily the key fob was in sight so I used a couple of straightened out coat hangers twisted together to hold the key fob still and a thin carbon fibre tube to press the open button on the fob! Very fiddly but it worked!
Will make sure that keys are always in pocket when working on the car in future!
