Today while attemting to bleed the brakes on the car, I unlocked the car, opened the driverside door & put the keys in the ignition, then closed the door & walked back to my garage.
By the time I had walked back from my garage to the car, It had locked itself.
I have tried putting some thin aluminium down the top of the door to try & reach the central locking button on the drivers side door, but it doesnt appear to want to unlock the car. Maybe I'm not pressing the unlock button hard enough?
I can appreciate that this topic is quite sensitive to discuss on an open forum, so I ask if anyone knows how I can get the car opened, so I can get my keys back out of the ignition, please IM me.
I have called an auto locksmith & I'm not paying excess of £115 for the privilege.
Even checked eBay for a used drivers door window (none tinted), approx £25 delivered, which seems like one of my cheapest options.
I have also considered calling the dealers tomorrow to ask if they are able to cut me some form of a plastic valet key, that will only allow access to the car, but wont start it? I'm guessing I will need to show proof of ownership in the form of my V5C form, which I have & is all correct.
Anyone have any suggestions, please?
I know I'm a dick for doing it, that I'm already fully aware of, lol
