Ye got some local locksmith guy, came in, 5 min later using some special key, got it opened, 5 min= $150, not a bad lil job.
Im going to have to make spare key. Since moving houses, lost my wallet and now locked my key in the car, no luck at all!

Dude. It DID help. It clearly states to call up the applicable roadside service and get them to get it out.
If you are a member it's free. If not you would have to join up - not a waste as it gets you a years membership too.
Also it's accessible pretty much 24/7 where locksmiths work generally normal hours.


Remember that you will need to copy the immobiliser out of your current key as a blank copy won't start your euro

DAMN!!! $150!!! knock on wood this shit dont happen to me..

just do the old window push and twisted coat hanger trick, 65% of the time.... it works all the time

I did exactly this TWICE in my euro :'( ended up calling RACV both times and got them to break into my car to get my keys LOL.

..At least I feel like less of an idiot now.. :D

now I'm no expert on these matters, but I'm pretty sure this doesn't work on modern cars and you risk doing damage.

Correct. The actuator and lock mechanism has covers over it.. So if you can break the cover of first it will work but takes forever.

fcuk.. bad luck bro. join racq/racv, they arent bad to be with.

Whenever I am working in the boot of my Euro I make sure to open one of the passenger doors so that the whole car stays unlocked to avoid situations like this. It's easy enough to do.
