locked out of series 3
« on: April 19, 2014, 09:25:03 PM »
Hi Folks
I managed to lock myself out of my series 3 landy truck cab  this morning, The keys are still in the ignition lol..
Its in my driveway and safe enough but how the hell am I going to get it open without damage...

I have tried to feed wire in to lift handle on door but its in locked position and wont pull up to release door..

Is there some way to get windows open...

If anyone has any ideas could you pm me please, just for security reasons, god knows who reads this   haha

cheers james

Get a spare key kit for next time!

In the meanwhile try any old lr keys you can muster. Old locks and not many combinations mean most series can be opened with a spoon!
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

Thanks to everyone for the help...

managed to pick the lock with a kit I had at home, couldnt quite believe it worked..
I have now separated the spare keys instead of having them all on the one ring, which was daft!

cheers guys
