if you can get the bonnet open and the central locks work, if your clever you can open the door from the fuse box

When you earth the right terminal you will hear the car unlock Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Unfortunately, someone elses key almost always works I've only ever broken into an old OLD Nissan Sunny, can't remember why we had to but it was a mates car (he was there with me) and we got time out of automotive at school to go get it open, no one questioned what we were doing which was a bit worrying! His locks were those common cheap on top of the door type, so was probably a bit easier, but we just did the coat hanger through the door gap thing. You could give that a go? Oh I think Chemical means use a fork in the door lock, might work. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Perhaps you use your knob & forks to fix your car but I like to use ther proper tools & yes Im fully aware its only 12 volts & wont kill you but why risk shorting things out? I am only trying to help the guy out there is no need to be a ****.

Use a metal coat hanger or wire of roughly the same thickness and try one of the front doors..takes about 30secs!

Its not like whats been said is not already common knowledge, at the end of the day if a theif needs instructions on how to break into a vl it might be time for a different profession.
