**HELP** How to break into a car and get it started.
I've got a ****ty £100 Corsa runabout one of the first models.
I'm planning to get a crow bar and prize the door open, but once in how do I get it started? Hopefully the steering lock isn't on. If it is, can I bypass it? I've been quoted £200+Vat for a new key. With the car being worth £100, it's not worth it, and I've got another half decent car. So I'm planning on getting it started and driving to the scrap yard, as it's in a public place and I can't leave it there. |
Philips screwdriver, prise the lock until it opens (it's going to damage it), once in, snap the steering lock with brut force and then remove steering cowling cover, at the ignition barrel get the Philips screwdriver and wedge it at the metal and black plastic barrel which has wires connected to it, once apart then put screw driver or any form of key in the plastic barrel to start etc.

Post 1996 is chip in key Game over unless you want to find someone to reprogram immobilizer to recognize a new key |
It was a 99. I'm pretty sure it was just a bog standard key
it's automatic as well! going to ring some scrap yards to see if they'll pick it up this morning. |
I only know cos some little f..r stole mine years ago and that's what they did snapped steering lock did switch and bumped it and off they went
|
what the tossers didn't know there was about 50 pence worth of fuel in it so didn't get far
