An air jack wouldn't really be much use here, (assuming he has one,) he needs to be able to slide the car sideways, hence the trolley jack suggestion.

With the air jack you can get to the far corner. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Right sit rep, AA guy could not help so went about the starter motor method and I just cant get to the top of the start motor very well. But I did climb onto roof, good job I have a roof rack no dented roof leaned down took cap off and the key does unlock the door. The black lock unlock button moves.

The deadlock prevents the doors from being opened from the inside, another reason for not smashing the window unless you are able to climb through it to get the key in its dock, hopefully, you locked it with one press

I didn’t open the door in case the alarm went off. I don’t want it going off as there will be a light of neighbours to annoy. GS Sd4 2012 |

Ah right, understandable, it does time out after about 5 minutes though. |

On my FL2, only the driver's door handle will operate the other handles locking mechanism. i.e. the passengers door will not release the others.

If the door is locked normally ie one press of the fob then pulling the drivers door handle will open the door like it does when you go to get out after it auto locks once you get past 8mph.

When camping we sleep in the car & the best way to have the car locked at night is to not use the remote. We reach forward contorting ourselves, with a single press, press the driver or passenger door lock. At night to dewater we can get out quietly from the rear quietly.

Keeping you all in suspense at the moment as it was raining and could not be bothered, but I’ll be doing it today. GS Sd4 2012 |
