If you have taken the rear quarter light out ( as I did when I was locked out of mine) why cant you get a hook of some sort to pull the bonnet catch and open the bonnet to get at the battery

Yes, I was going to try that but weather was turning so had to give up....Car resides 20 miles away from me so spare time and distance are not helping:eek:
 
I believe I've read of a way to get the bonnet open by snagging the release cable through the grill. Worst that can happen, you'll break the grill which is cheap enough to replace. Do a search for that not just in this forum but on google or something as it may have been a US site, I don't remember. Then put a new, fully charged battery in. Believe me there is absolutely no use clucking and flapping around a P38 so long as the battery is not A1.

Thanks.....Will have a look at that when I get a chance....
 
You should be able to unlock the door with the key even with a flat battery. I take batteries completely off the car & still lock & unlock with the key, so unless the connection rod has seperated from the door handle & lock mechanism, I'm gonna to look at your car as superlocked. You can place jump leads onto the starter motor lead & the other on a good earth point from under the car & let it slowly charge enough to try the EKA & see if that gains you entry.

Yeah....We've already put the charger on the starter/chassis and left it overnight. Was getting bright repeaters while setting alarm off with my arm inside the car through the removed rear quarter glass and while entering the EKA anti-clockwise but no lights while operating the door lock clockwise which I think is the unlock position. I think the battery is knackered and the alarm/lights are just being fed with the charger. I considered that a connector rod has come off so that's why we're concentrating on all other door locks. The owner is posting off the fob to some guy in the UK that repairs and tests them so we will wait until we have a working fob again and we'll take it from there. If the connector rod has come away, the only way in should be the central locking actuator/fob....

Thanks for the input.:)

Not if it's superlocked
 
Easiest way to disable superlocking is to snip the wire in the loom going to the door latch.

On the wiring going into the latch, the wire colour for the superlock motor is PINK. If you snip that, or pull the pin out of the connector, then it will prevent the motor from working.

Alternatively if you want to mechanically disable it, then there is a plastic pawl in the latch mechanism, which when removed will let the motor spin, but not actually activate the mechanism.

I've got a carcass of a latch I had in bits yesterday from one I fixed for someone (locking motor had burnt out so was replacing it) - I'll take a picture later and post it up showing the superlock mechanism if anyone is interested?
