Locked out of the Monaro
Discussion
Well another nightmare, the starter motor eventually gave up while at a mates house and it was decided to leave it for a while on his drive as he had plenty of space, decided it was time to bring it home but when I tried to open it nothing. It doesn't work with the key fob or the key its self. Any ideas how to get in to it guys?
First all sorry for taking so long to reply, just the usual day to day stuff getting in the way.
So I did the WD40 soak and it did eventually let me in to the car so I could at least open the bonnet. The car is now on charge but not without a bit of hassle as it kept tripping the battery charger out, eventually managed to get it on charge tonight.
I'm at least hoping for a full charge just to see if it might turn over just to get it back on my drive, but I'm not hopeful.
I will get back on progress in the next couple of days.
I still need to source a starter motor and get someone to fit it, had a quick look online and 340 ( MW performance ) to buy it and then pay someone to fit it. Is this about right price wise? and how easy for local garage to fit it, I do know one who are Supra trained so hoping they can tae it on, just to save me having to transport it.
How easy is it to jump start an Monaro out of interest?
I have just found this on eBay, has anyone used these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403490164146?hash=item5...

Another quick update
So eventually got the battery charged it didn't like the first charger kept tripping it out, put my old charger on and got it fully charged.
So here's the strange thing the car actually fired up without any problem after being sat idle for two months. The problem in the first place was every time we turned it over it only just started and then wouldn't start at all. I assume it will start to play up again and I'm still going to change the starter motor as soon as possible.

When the car started to refuse to start on and off the battery was always ok it just wouldn't turn over until eventually it wouldn't start full stop. I tried it again today and it did start ok so will see how it goes, but just a bit wary of going somewhere and it just stops, although I'am in the AA.
Still think I will change the starter motor just to be safe
