W202 broken into

[Darrell]

I was over on the maimland last week and had to take the battery out of the car to start a boat. When I came back some scrotes had tried to break open the boot and have basically ruined the lock.

As the battery is out of the car the boot won't open and the car is stuck in a car park in Volos.

I pulled out the back seat to try to gain access but there is a bulkhead there and I can't see another way in.

Any ideas?

Sorry to hear this Darrell.

There was someone with a boot jammed last week and they managed to get access to the boot lock via the first aid container on the back window ledge. Long job though involving a long stick, gaffa tape, and a socket head.

Is it possible to put jumper wires somewhere under the bonnet (assuming you can get in the car to open the bonnet) to put a live feed onto the car to energise the central locking to the boot.

If you can open the hood, check a little plastic box on one of the side bulkheads with a cable going in and another out. Prior open and energise with a battery feed and the locks should open.

Spot on, on the nearside inner wing is a black box. Open it up and connect a jump pack to the wire and earth it elsewhere under the bonnet. Then push the unlock button on your key
