hi all, my 2000 (x) omega has been parked up for a few weeks, and when i tried to unlock it tonight i got no joy either with the fob or the key itself, surely using the key is a mechanical operation not electronic? anyhow, it's booked in for MOT Saturday so any ideas on how to get into it welcomed (i've already thought of breaking the window ::))

  :o Breaking a window won't get the door opened if it's dead locked  :o
put the key in the driver's door lock and turn as hard as you can before you break the key, they say you should lift the handle at the same time though, & you'll unlock the door.

The door "pin" may not rise as you use the key to unlock manualy .. so keep puling on the handle as you turn the key ... it almost feels like the key is about to break .. but it will open ..  :y :y :y :y

Should work. You`ve got to force the key past the resistance

jack up & support the front near side & jump across the starter connections, the leads only need to be thin - you're only unlocking the car.

"Should work. You`ve got to force the key past the resistance"
sorry, i don't think i described the problem too clearly, i neglected to say that the key does turn in the lock, but although it seems to be moving at least part of the mechanism it turns the whole way to the left without unlocking
