Locked key under the bonnet!

[amk2vr6]

Some how, being a dib dob I wen't out to the car last night to grab something from under the bonnet and left my only key on the battery. I didn't realise until this morning (it was dark last night).

 

Whats the easiest way in? Try and remove the grille and pop the bonnet?

 

Its a 2006 Seat Leon.

Thanks.

LOL, would you like pics to prove I own it? haha.

 

Check my previous posts, I'm a (reasonably) credible member.

 

And no, no spare or I'd be in it by now :(

Lol

Dont laugh at me, help me :P

Jack it up and drop it to shake them out?

[Phil-E]

Jack it up and remove the under tray might be a start.

 

Don't know if you would be able to reach up to the bonnet release then?

I did!

See WIKI link!

Still LOL

Call AA?

I think jacking it up and squeezing my two year old lad up into the engine bay would work? 

 

I'll have a play around with it later in the week, its a second car and engine is in bits at the moment anyway, so its not going anywhere.

Lol

Y didnt u tell us earlier it was a 2nd car!

We were all worried about u!

Seriously, u tried the wiki link?

Or can breakdown service help?

[Phil-E]

There are ways to get inside the car quite easily but probably not best to be discussed openly.

I agree!

[Phil-E]

Although I'd be stuffed if this happened to me as I've disabled one of the security flaws with some VCDS trickery.

Haha, sorry mate! It was quite urgent - I was quite distressed when I realised what a numpty I was. Best thing to do was to scream for help!

 

Wiki link gives the usual about prising the door open - I really dont fancy that.

Unlucky fella! Got to ask, what you 'grabbed from under the bonnet'?! The radiator? The expansion tank! Lol. Assume a tool of some sort?! Is there no way to flick the bonnet catch without popping it inside first?

Might be hard if you cant get to the locking wheel nut key.

[Watsona6]
