Hi,
Just returned today from 6 weeks away, and went to start car, but battery is completely flat. Key, and spare, both indicate that they are sending signals, but doors do not unlock. When I look through the window at the dashboard, I see that the clock has stopped.
Tried the emergency (blade) keys that are hidden within the fob, neither of them do anything.
Called out breakdown recovery people, they had a quick look but couldn't get in; they suggest I engage with a locksmith. I'm waiting for a formal call back from their call centre, to confirm this.
So, any other suggestions out there, or is a locksmith my only option? If I do go down that route, presumably I'm likely to have the lock completely destroyed? Look forward to thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
