I was locked out of my car the other week, flat battery. The passenger door would not open at first, took about 3 mins turning the key and bumping the door a bit. I have read other people say they had issues with passenger key not working first time. No idea but maybe worth a try. |

Can't you use the (emergency) key (inside fob) to get inside the car?

Yes remove the cover on the passengers front door handle.

There is little point you getting in via the 1/4 window. What do you think you will do once you are in ?

Or you could just check the passenger lock works before you need to use it.

Well done - whatever you did I hope there isn't too much damage to repair. If you search the Disco 3 site for the terms 'locked out' there are some useful threads including pictures of the notorious '3 green and white wire splice' in the loom under the nearside sill plate. Apparently it corrodes and can be fixed with a bit of soldering. Your misfortune prompted me to make sure the passenger door lock key emergency access is working and give it some lubrication. Noted that it unlocks the door by turning CLOCKWISE which is counter-intuitive and lock/unlock is a movement of only 45 degrees each way from the vertical. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE |

Youre right, best to make sure the mechanical lock functions - Im sure it did but I will have to double check when I move the car
