Locked out, flat battery

[Greg M]

I've tried the secret-squirrel method and it didn't work - does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there a chance that the secret key might be different to the ignition key? It turned but the door did not pop. Frustratingly there was sufficient power in the battery to set the alarm off, which pleased the neighbours!

On my car the key is the same, try it again with a bit more twisting it may just need a bit more ft lbs

Bit of lateral thinking and you should soon have the hood "popped" and roof panel out

Thank you Philpott - lateral thinking worked a treat.
