well when you say it moves abit but not enough to open the door with the key, it can mean that it is that type, allso, the key will be magnetised, the car lock is magnetised the same amount, when you put key in the door it is classed as emergency unlock but if the key has become un magnetised it will not let you open the door main reason the key de-magnetied is leving them near to tv's or on top of the fridge.

sounds a load of bull to me ... just checked all keys .. no sign of magnetism on one of them .. and they all mechanically open the doors .. as a routine this is done on the 1st of every month as a "maintenance" procedure ... at the same time the lock gets a tiny squirt of "Ambersil"

Omegas aren't like that.  Be surprised if any car was, be far to easy for crooks to unlock

Hi
Easiest way is to get underneath and put 12V on the starter solenoid.  Make sure you get the right terminal or the engine will turn over.

Maybe so, but can't see anyone bothering, seeing as the Omega has a decent deadlock anyway

I locked my keys in the boot so managed to take out the rear quarter light and get in without breaking it or causing any damage. I was well pleased with myself!
