right ive got leather doorcards to get out of a 325
that has been crashed and the central locking
has stopped working!

right hand side of the car opens fine when
you turn the key but the left hand side wont open
from the inside or out

anyone got any ideas as to how i can get the doors open?

someone must know :cry: :cry:

The door may have been dead locked there for you've got no chance, depends where the impact was?

Grinder, just bodge the fcuk out of it and gride away and get the doors out.Surely if you cut away near the hingers and then the lock and cut away at the door pillar its gota come out.


If not, smash the window, try and prize some rope inbetween the top of the window section and the roof, and drive off with the rope attached to a car lol

to get the CL module

1.remove grille and speaker down by the pedals in the drivers footwell (1x Xhead screw for the cover and 3x Xhead screws for the speaker.

2. Locate the screws that retain the controller (Brass coloured XHead below hole for speaker)

3. Unscrew these and that should loosen off the holder (located INSIDE the hole for the speaker)

4. remove the holder and unscrew the unit (1x XHead screw)

5. gently remove the plug with the wires (push down GENTLY to release the clip)

6. clip new control module in and try!!

good luck :cool:
