advice please...
98 C2 in 'sleep' mode after 10 days away
fob won't unlock doors
key won't unlock door either (fitted new bowden cable recently, lock blade maybe not fitted into mechanism?)
alarm light on dash so battery assumed ok
options: hunt the bonnet release cable?
RAC?
brick?
any suggestions gratefully received
regards ed
 
Just an idea but if you rocked the car to set the alarm off would it wake from sleep mode? If it doesn't work you will have a locked car with the alarm going off!
 
Ring an OPC or an Indy near-by and seek advice.
OPC service staff will be there till mid-day on Saturday.
Have your VIN number handy - they'll likely want it to help you.
 
sorted, brilliant AA guy jacked car up super high (cue deafening alarm), moved arch liner to reveal cable to pop the bonnet (more alarm)
battery disconnected, which seemed to sort system out. then used fob to open car.
turns out on further investigation lock barrel blade into mechanism had snapped at some point in the past.
moral is...... check your key works the lock [i]before[/i] it goes into sleep mode......
