Hi everyone,
i have'nt drove my corsa for a couple of months.
And coz of this the battery has gone flat!
Problem is that someone has gone and locked all the doors and my car can only be opened by keyfob. Ive de-locked it and the boot has also been smoothed out so i cant just use the key to get in.
Anyone have any suggestions on how i can get into it without braking the window.
Thanx
Paddy

jack the car up & you can release the bonnet from underneath by pulling the black cable on the slam panel. then just charge up the battery & unlock your car as normal.
no need to remove any windoes then

Just get a battery or charger, lean up from under the car and clip them to either the starter motor or alternator terminals to charge the battery.

Best thing to do is to tie a piece of string to the latch in the boot lock and have it hanging out of the boot, give it a sharp tug and hey presto, your in

Yeah as miles said jack the front of the car and connect the positive of a battery charger to either the pos of the alt (which is easier to get to) or the pos of the battery and then connect the earth to any bare metal spot in the engine bay. Turn on the charger and it should give you enough power straight away to unlock the car to open the bonnet to then replace the battery. 99% of cases the battery will be fooked so just get a new one....
