Get the AA or RAC or an auto locksmith. Any other advice might be criminal.

I remember breaking in to my mates Fiesta when he locked his keys in. The tricks you see in films actually worked on crap old cars!

I used my AA blokey to get into my mondeo when it locked itself with the motor running one winter. At least it was warm by the time I got in to it!

You can unlatch the lock on older fords using a thin crosshead screwdriver. Just be careful not to damage the mechanism though.

Pull the top of the door away and put your hand in. Not too much or the window will pop but does work

"Pull the top of the door away and put your hand in. Not too much or the window will pop but does work "

thats impossible

you need a piece of wire bent into a hook at the end . Need to either go down the outside of the window and pull a rod you should be able to see ( remove the window trim at bottom of window . Get a torch . Or a longer piece of wire . Bent to a hook . Pull top of dr open slightly push wire thru and aim for the inside lever youd normally use to get out the car . Persivearance and lots of it

Trust me what you need is coat hangers . Metal ones or fence wire . Ad be in that car in no time . Also another good thing to use is packing straps . The stuff you cut off a box to get the contents out . Plastic wrap srap stuff . . . Usually black and fastened together with a metal clip ...

No it's not impossible but it will leave the paint cracked and a slight crease on the piece where the window frame meets the door but it will work. Otherwise; if the inside locking button protrudes a little above the trim inside you can use plastic packing tape bent double and push it through between the door and frame and hook it over the button, pull it taught then upwards.

I won't say what I used to do for a living but trust me, I was always law abiding and on the right side of the law.

Old cars with the "pop-up" button on the door...use a flat plastic strap off large box parcels.

Fold in half...wiggle it through the door seal above the base of the window then push just the one side so it forms a loop and slide this over the button. Pull that side of the strap back and slide up to pull the button up.

Packing strap stuff bent in half and the loop put through the dr . Pull one end more than the other and it can be manouvered where you want it to go . . .

You won't get your hand in.

What I did with my old Sierra was to force a gap and then put a door wedge in to keep the gap there whilst I used a bent coat hanger to operate the handle from inside. As a safety feature in the event of an accident it should unlock and open the door.

Of course its impossible. You'd have to create a gap big enough to fit, not just your hand, but your entire forearm. That won't leave a slight crease it'll ruin the entire frame!!!

I won't trust you. You'll shatter the glass, damage the frame and distort the window runners. You're trying to force a gap of over 4 inches in something that's supposed to be tight against the rest of the body.

Seems to me all northern's know their stuff. Reason why I have to pick half the motors up there to fit them because no one as a clue. It's not the best way to do it. These blokes must be wanking ever second of the day and have massive fore arms. That or down the gym.

Find where the impact sensor is, short out the circuit and all the doors are automatically opened (safety feature on all cars with central locking). Then all you need to do is reset sensor.

It's a KA, pick it up and shake it til the keys fall out of its pocket!

Seriously though, don't bend the window frame get a mechanic to do it, I'm sure someone will help for a drink/£10/blowjob or all three

got it open after a bit of messing around, pules the top of the door out just enough to get a bit if wire in there, and managed to grab the inside handle I thought it was going to be a smash the window job. thankfully we did not have to do that.
