How do I break into my corrado without smashing a window or screwdrivering the lock?

 

My batt is flat on the G60 and I need to move it asap. It's delocked and the boot lock has siezed! (to my suprise)

 

Any help mucho appreciated.

Its a struggle but you can pop the bonnet with the grill removed, I learned the hard way when not tightening the bonnet pull cable tight enough. I had not fitted the grill at that point so will probably involve destroying it, probs less hassle than a window or door lock though. Therefore not actually breaking in, so I posted it up!

Tried that. It's impossible :brickwall:

You can definitely open the bonnet from the outside, the passenger side is easy enough to pop by removing the grill and pulling the cable. The drivers side involves jacking the car up and getting your arm up with a big flat screwdriver to lever the mechanism and then it will pop open. It's not hard, just annoying!

^^^^ Yeah I should have mentioned that. I used some long reach pliers/plumbers wrench.

oil cooler is in the way on the drivers side...

Can you reach up with two wires and put 12 volts onto your battery, awkward but then you could open the car on the fob..

never thought of that! Is there a way to do it via the starter motor? as the batt is well hidden

I thought i'd be like a mk2 golf. (window seal ruler job)

you can get a live wire onto the starter motor and the chassis, job done

[raddo_tom 0]

on the wire from the starter? Or just on the starter in general? :scratch:

Positive wire onto the positive terminal on your starter motor and the negative onto the chassis somewhere!

Hope you got it sorted Tom!

[Jon_vr6 1]

This is the main reason i would never go delocked, im sure you get it sorted eventually

i had the same problem not long ago, ended up using a doorstop a thin but rigid stick and some fishing line - worked a treet but no use if you dont have pins!

I know it says Really random question in the title, but you have just taken it to another level :lol:

 

On a serious note, do a search in the Ice and security section, I'm sure the answer will be there.

use an inflate a wedge off of snap on, bout 40 quid, or a wedge of wood tapped lightly down the side of the door just enough to get some pincers on the door pin, and handle , works on most cars.
