had to borrow a wheelbrace to get fingers in, then squashed my fingers haha, then used a stick to wedge in while wheelbracing the top, then squashed wrist/arm reaching for the lock, scratched pillar a bit, worst of all i rang the wife while doing it so inadvertently owner up to damaging the car

I locked myself out of the FreeLander I used to have. After an early start, stopped outside Abergavenny in a laybye for a pee, slammed the door and everything locked. Engine running, radio on, phone going and it was minus 4degrees C. I'm in shirtsleeves! Nightmare!

Done this to many times. Buy a spare key,soak it in oil, wrap it in a plastic bag, put it in a sealed box and cable tie it to the chassis. saved me loads of times.

lol, been there done that so many times. glad you got it sorted mate

 

my record was 2 times in the one day:blushing:locked the keys in, walked for 30 mins across the fields home, got a lift back with spare keys, opened the door, somehow locked both the keys in, ran down the road to stop my mum, lift home again and lift back with 3rd set. The joys of being easily exciteable and hyper active as well when i was 17:laugh1:
