Hi All

This is a new one on me, car has been parked up for a few days. I've had the EAS compressor off waiting for a new seal from Holland. No battery problems that I know of. This morning, tried to get in to get something out of the glove box, ...................ing thing won't let me in. Both key fobs are fine with flashing red lights, tried the key in the lock - nothing happening. No beeps no nothing.

How the duck do I get in? I've had locksmiths go in the back door without damage before when the battery was flat, but this is different.

HELP!

Sounds like its gone into lockdown mode? Try the keycode lock sequence using the manual. If you haven't doen this before I suggest you read the drivers handbook a few times to get it right. It can be a royal pain to sort it. The key code can be provided by the dealerships but usually means a trip in person with log book and I.D.

Another vote for the 'don't use the Dutch seal' brigade.
Been there, tried that, lasted weeks.

On the locking issue is it possible that your car battery is flat? Bit of a palaver but you could try another battery connected to the starter, not to start it but to see if you can power the locks and get in.
