Locked Out & Battery Flat :o(

[Mike_Cerb99]

Hi all,

Can anyone help?

It's come close a couple of times but I've always managed to open the door / raise the bonnet and get the battery back on charge before it ran out of oomph....until today.

I haven't used the Cerb for a couple of weeks and the alarm has run the battery down so that the alarm won't disengage / unlock the doors and hence the doors won't open....I've heard talk of a secret way of getting into a Cerb if this happens.....obviously I wouldn't want it posted on here for potentially unsavoury characters to see but does anyone have this 'secret' that they could email to me / call me and talk it through?.....It's a 1999 4.2 if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the mail TyreSmoke.....and the offers of help FUBAR / Supersix.....I'll try the instructions from TyreSmoke but if I don't have any luck, I'm only in Chichester so may well call in those offers.

Thanks again, everyone....much appreciated.

[Mike_Cerb99]

Sounds like a good plan to me.....a car park of Cerbs on the drive.....will look quite nice

Well, an hour of trying and failing so far tonight - will have another play tomorrow after work then cry for help / fire up the BBQ and await the cavalry

Tis a little fiddly, got to get it just right. I'll be passing on Saturday - picking the Cerb up from Austec - so will be passing anyway. Will drop you contact details in case you need them.

Stick with it there is a knack to it. I'm sure you'll practice it when you can see it all properly after you've sorted it this time around.

I presume they've told you the easier way of the two?

I can't make option 1 work and I've studied it!!

Cheers

PM me tomorrow if you need a hand! I had battery problems with my Cerb last year and can get in very quickly now. I'm just in Rowlands Castle and will be home just after 4 tomorrow!

Option two as option one is just too dam hit and miss.

[Tyre Smoke]

I only know one way in. Would someone pm me both please?

[FarmyardPants]

Option 1 = smash a window. I've never needed to resort to option 2 (smash the other window)

[Mike_Cerb99]

Just a quick post to say....2nd attempt and success within 30 seconds!

Thanks for the solution and for all of the offers of help.

Mike
