it is actually exposed and easy enough to access the starter from behind the driver side wheel, i did it whilst trying to correlate voltage drop from battery > starter then battery > relay/trigger> starter

I've just read that when you turn the key in the door you have to pull the handle at the same time. Worth a go. |

Others have opened the bonnet by removing the left (front) inner wheelarch (after removing the wheel) and then gaining access (with tools) to the two bonnet release cables/mechanisms. Could be a battery disconnect procedure may be in order... .

I’m not sure that’s gonna work if the car is double locked…. Perhaps the only thing to go for is the bonnet catch, might be hard to pull though.

There is a way to open the boot lid and get in. DO NOT smash a window and DO NOT have a locksmith destroy your door lock barrel.

Neither will work on a superlocked / double locked car. Ask me how I know But the trick I'm referring to, works every time and is a good insurance policy to know about it... |

Hopefully he can use it to get in then. Then carry on sorting potential battery issues from there.
