is there a way to open the bonnet without using the catch inside the car.

Can you remove the wiper cowl? with teh bonnet down?

Can you remove the hinge mount bolts with the cowl on?

Where is the wire that runs from inside the car to the bonnet catch?
Grab it with a pliers and pull?

did you lock your keys inside the car bud ?

[d_dan]

yea and the battery died so keyfob wont open the door. have a plan though

[colm_mcm]

your insurance company might cover getting your keys out.

You might be able to get at the boonet release fron underneath the car with a coat hanger (assuming you don't have an FMIC blocking the route ;))

If anyone has a way of gettuing into the cabin without the keys, pm Dan directly. The reasons for this are obvious I think you'll agree....

got the bonnet open by jacking up the car and then removing the drivers side wheel arch liner and pulling the cable itself and "click" opens the bonnet

[colm_mcm]

how does this get your keys out of the car though?

PM me if you don't want to go into detail!

[d_dan]

iv the fob. so all i need is the battery with some life in it

[colm_mcm]

Ah! you should get a spare key, they're only €6

[d_dan]

do you know somewhere that cuts them

Apparently there is actually an easy way to get into an FTO using a specific route (without having to break anything). Fortunately never had to try it out though.

Perhaps would be useful to have someone demonstrate whenever we have this "DIY meet" that was planned.

Most locksmiths, Cleggs in Naas definitely have them if you're still working in Newbridge.

The way the lads are eluding to is pretty obvious, we do it on Hyundai Coupes too.

Woodies have the key blanks and will cit them no prob.
