What to do when the "other" way in doesn't work??

[tvr7s]

Come to my car this morning and it won't let me in, very srange as I leave it unlocked (locked and alarmed garage!), assuming my battery to be flat I try and use the aternative method of entry but the red handle will not pull, stuck solid, before I end up pulling the handle off all together and never getting in again does anyone have any advice? Never had to use this method before so not sure if it works anyway! Whats next, housebrick??

I have never done this but if you jack the car up and are able to get to the starter solinoid you should be able to connect a jump battery at this point. make sure you connect the live before the earth. This should give you enough power to open the door!

Could try getting someone to lean on the door, tension on the lock could make it hard to pull. Sounds to me like your T handle has corroded though. DOes the handle move or is that jammed fast i.e. can you feel the cable "strecthing"?

Can't feel the cable stretching, handle turns freely just won't pull, will keep playing, probably get in just as the rain starts!

The handle does need a hefty pull in my experience.

I'm guessing yours is younger and has had less use?
