There's another method that i've seen at the stealer.
Remove the rear door, then access to the door frame and cuts the thing that where the latch grips. The U thing. Buy a new one at the scraper, cost nothing.

The white strip must be completely broken off as described to allow the spring to fall out. Give the latch body a tap and the superlock ball should fall out and the door be opened.
Just read the instructions again and follow them to the letter. I have used this method many times and never had a problem.

that door wont open ,only the left hand side is open due to fault?
Just to add John to your text iv'e found a photo of the latch and you need a sharp slot head screw driver, I used a long long drill bit and ground the end to a sharp edge, worked first time.
Thanks ill try this tomorrow...

He did get in because i don't see how he would have gotten rid of the door card...
Usually when the door latch fails in superlock mode, the others doors are still working...

think the window has to be fully open then wedged with a wooden drift and then you can see the lock latch with a torch through the gap between the window and water seal on the door. Well thats how i did mine.

Others may be more knowledgable....

Yes, i believe so...:doh:
Wow, you gave me a great idea : i'll test soon my theory saying removing EKA is great idea!! Removing my door lock.
And if it doesn't work, i'll try really disabling the immobilizer using a FAULTMATE MSV-2

Well you can do this and if it cocks up you can still restore the EKA with the Faultmate but if you get stuck out and about be sure you have your faultmate in the glove box or your not going home in ya truck, unless your with AA or RAC etc.

The Faultmate is great, if a tad expensive, the new Nanocom might be a better bet if it can do the same things. It's an unknown quantity for the moment though as it's not released until next year for the P38.

That's the old model Nanocom, it will not do the P38.
Hello guys back on the road , as you know i was super locked out and could not put in the E K A code, so after breaking the lock down trough the window i found the problem , unknown to me at the time the pin at the back of the door handle had broken of, and as i only used the fob did not notice, its the pin that turns with the key , that is why i did not get any joy from the E K A code , so a new lock and all ok for now. don t forget the key to possision 2 in egnition and door open .

The same thing happened on mine. The rod connected to the key barrel had just popped out. Luckily I noticed this when i had the door card off to fix a problem with the speaker.
