Locked In!
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 1:37 pm
Got in the car a couple of days ago, pulled the door shut to a god Almighty bang. First thoughts was the seat belt was caught in the door, but no, it was clear. So I tried to open the door and nothing. Locked and unlocked the car a few times but still no joy. Put the window down and tried the outside door handle with still no joy.
As luck would have it, I was just around the corner from the local dealer so drove round and sent the daughter in to see if I could be released from the beast.
Well, no joy, I ended up having to climb over the passenger seat to get out, no small achievement given my fuller framed figure..... ::) Well the dealer was spot on, and although couldn't get the door open while I was there, sorted a car and got me on my way. Car was fixed the next day with a replacement locking mechanism, I think it was the dead lock that had failed. With 10 days to go until the warranty runs out it was good timing.
