Well chaps what can I say

Some plumb on here suspecting he was gonna be away from home for many weeks ( correct ) disconnected the battery to Winston the 850 T5. Several weeks later he then remembered he does not have a key for any of the locks, only 2 fully functioning fobs

As per title help please - he suspects he needs to access the bonnet latch - otherwise holessaw through the bonnet !

Can you remove an indicator assembly? Even if you break the catch that holds it in, not the end of the world, it can be held in by other means. You may be able to access the bonnet latch through the indicator space? Just an idea....

I'm curious though - how did you lock the car if the battery was disconnected at the time?

Go underneath and put jump leads on.

Live on alternator terminal and earth on something metal

Thanks chaps responses much appreciated

Simple answer Lux - don't know why but in a mega rush - locked doors- removed neg terminal - closed bonnet

As per heading what a plumb but in my defence did the same to Lenny for whom the ignition and locks utilise the same key !

That should work too - starter motor terminal would be good if you can get at it - jack it up far enough I'd have thought you could? Then just use your fob.

And drill a hole central to where the number plate covers about 10 12 mm theres a connection rod that you can access with long nose pliers it will un lock the boot so you can climb through and open the bonnet

Under the battery, looking up from underneath, there is a wire from the positive terminal wrapped in plastic. Cut a hole with a knife to expose the wire a tiny bit and attach positive battery charger wire with negative anywhere on the car's metal... Bingo, enough electricity to open the electric door locks.

Wrap tape around exposed wire.

I had mine parked up for a while and when I came to use it again I realized that the key I had would not work in the locks so I've actually done it to mine I just rust proof the hole put a grommet and refitted the rear number plate back over it tbh it has come in handy a few times lol if you pm a mobile number I can WhatsApp you an couple of picks as it's in my workshop at the moment having some work done

[Bigfella666]

Sorry Andrew I have only just seen your reply, will be back in town soon where my gal us parked up

Will try and pm you, given I am thinking of parting with this legendary Mota a small hole in the rear is the least of my concerns

Appreciate your help - I am likely not to have room to get trolley jack and stands in car when I leave girlfriends so looking at alternative !!
