Battery Disconnected - Locked out

Post by thecathouse »

So had an electrical fault late last year (earthing point issue) and my exhaust split.

Being clever (not) I locked the car, disconnected the battery thinking I would get round to doing it this year. Time passed and to be honest money was tight so I left it. I have just realised that I cannot actually get into the car to pop the bonnet. I can unlock the door with the key etc but of course with no battery the window doesn't drop slightly to open the door.

Other than breaking the window is there a way to get into the engine compartment so I can connect and charge the battery and open the car and go about fixing it???

Any help would be appreciated.

The windows on the 206cc do not drop.

Thanks for the info. So tried today, drivers door definitely will not open (and that is the only one I tried previously) but the passenger door does. Thank you for the advice, looks like drivers door now added to my to do list. Thanks again.
