I reversed my p38 into my very tight drive as I knew the battery would go flat whilst on holiday.( jump leads wont reach from rear to front of car). Can't open driver door as tight against shed. I didn't realise that the passenger door has no key lock. Now battery is flat so no central locking, and I cannot get into car to jumpstart. Can I drag it forwards 6 inches so I can open the door or will this damage anything?( gearstick in park)
Locked out, in a pickle.

If you can get jump leads onto starter feed wire you could use your fob to open, if not water and washing up liquid on drive to assist slipping would help reduce pressure on transmission, could always ring your breakdown if you've got home start?

+1, that is the easiest way to do it. If you post your location there may be someone near who can help.

Or if you've the caravan electrics by the tow-bar could you get enough power up the permanent 12V to pop the locks?
If you don't use the car a lot then one of those solar trickle chargers might be worth a shot.

You must be careful that the vehicle doesn't go straight to Keycode Lockout.
I'd probably use the coat hanger trick on the passenger door!

Can you get to one of the rear doors? If so you can pop out the little quarter glass, they come out from the top quite easy and then get your arm in to open door

Aslong as it isn't Superlocked...
Superlocking prevents sill button being moved and door handles working!!
