I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it.

I have been on holiday for two weeks and have come back to find my battery flat. The doors are locked, but I can't unlock them due to the alarm/central locking not having any power. Whats the solution? Can I get to the battery?

Help!

Suggest you call the factory and get the "solution" People are not keen to tell you on an open forum. It is also explained in the owners Manual. Hope that helps.

I thought the '4th Emergency Service' was brute force?

That's the fifth, only to be used if the manual is in the car

4th Emergency Service is HM Coastguard, and by all accounts they are pi**ed off with a certain organisation who promote themselves under that moniker.

There is a way in. For obvious reasons, I will not announce it on the web.

Read your manual, it is in there.

That only worked (alledgedly) on hydraulic systems. Can't remember what model it was meant to work on either.

Am I missing something? (probably!!)

Whats the hurry - instead of 'the trick' can't he just charge / jump his battery and then press his remote to unlock the car?
