Thanks for all the replies and links, I have read them all and it seems the only way in is to break a window. I can’t move it, I can’t get to tow electrics, applying power to the battery via the starter motor or alternator does not wake up the car. You have to put the fob into the dock to wake it up. Although I will try and apply power to the battery but I only have a jump starter pack as garage is a 10 min walk from house and hope it is just a near flat battery.

Next question, which window is easier to replace front or rear door.

Dear feelander Marto,
If you like another head round this I am working tomorrow at the coast guard station at Hoylake
Would you like me to call???

I was thinking that a trolley jack under the protective plate to edge the car away from the wall,
Breaking the window is a bad idea, I think, two heads better than one
I’m working at Hoylake coast guard station tomorrow and can assist you.

If you are going to jack it up you want point #3

I wrote a reply last night and it did not go up, so I'll write it again. My plan for how is put a charge to the battery via the starter or alternator which ever is easier to get to. Call the AA see if they can do anything, probably not. But try and get my money worth out of them. Failing that wheel follies as mentioned on here. I thing there is enough room to swing it round. Garage floor is not so smooth a tamp finish so maybe some ply on the floor. And then hope if door opens squeeze in the misses. If that fails then its hammer time🔨🔨 GS Sd4 2012

Hi, nope won’t be around at 5pm, but keep me posted
I think if you can jack it up at the front Cross member as indicated you should be able to move it over?
But let me know, I’m willing to assist if required

Hi,
hope you get it sorted soon

still think if it is a battery flat issue it would be easier to get to the tow socket
even if you have backed up to touching the garage wall, go under the car you only have to get a plug in the socket to be able to charge.
Make up your own to suit your charger, although Martin does sell them in the "Shop"
something like these

No joy with roadside?

From my experience it wont be a flat battery because when i finely got mine open the car did start on the second try.
Using something under the tyres to slide on or getting someone to tow it out would be better and cheaper than breaking a window. Common sense isn't very common.
