Somewhat embarrassing issue:

I drained the battery on my T350C by leaving the lights on. Having charged up the battery directly I was somewhat surprised to find that the car started without messing around with re-setting any immobilisers.

However I did notice it wasn't responding to the key fob any more (I tried both neither worked). Either way I drove the car home got out of it closed the door and now can't back in it. It noticed before it got out of the car that the lights around the door opening buttons were doing odd things too.

Does anyone have any idea how it can get back in it?

I know about a "secret method" to get back in the car but for various reasons that is not going to be possible.

Is disconnecting the battery to try to get it to reset likely to work?

Cheers Snakes, unfortunately due to some idiot (me) fiddling with that area in the past the secret method isn't available.

I have now made the secret method work, using some bodged up tools...
