The battery would not hold a charge, I charge it, so the car starts but if I switch off, thats it. It will not turn over just a slow whine.   So I have bought a new battery and fitted it but can't see if this works as I now can't open the doors, either with the electric button or by turning the key.   So I can't even take it to a garage.

Any body have any ideas how to get in the car?    I fortunatly havn't fully closed the bonnet so at least I have access to the engine.

    Well what do you know!!!!!   I went to the car today and .     Guess what!!    the door opened'   I'll   chach it all out tomorow.   The book says that having disconnected the battery I will have to go to a Ford dealer to have everything reset.    I hope this won't be so!
