Default Question chaps ?

Not been near the scoob for a couple of months for various reasons,gone in the garage to turn it over and the battery is completely goosed,have tried the key in the door,both sides,banged loads if wd40 in there and both doors just seem froze,the keys just won't open the doors,it's s my03 Jdm Sti,any ideas peeps ?

I do normally monitor the battery on a regular basis,but with the warm weather thought it would be fine.

Does it have dead locks on the remote locking or on the key ? You may have to try opening the boot and gain access to car that way ?? only a thought

I know it sounds silly, but have you ever needed to open the doors via the barrels before??
Previous owner may have had certain bits replaced due to lost keys etc??
Now you have a flat battery and need the car open... hmmm.
I'd say the boot lock is the easiest to overcome. Break that one and get a nipper into the car, via the ski hatch, to get the bonnet open and the battery replaced.
Then hopefully you can remotely re-open the car.

Sounds like previous owner has replaced barrels but not keys...or maybe spare set of keys will work.. have you tried those?

No never used the barrels with the keys,only the ignition,think once I get in get all the barrels replaced,or just make sure the battery is constantly maintained,but will get the barrels done anyway to be on the safe side.
