General Car Related Discussion.To discuss anything that is related to cars and automotive technology that doesnt naturally fit into another forum catagory.
This happened to me with my MK2 FRS, it's a pain when it happens but there is a trick to getting it open, it's a bit long winded to try an explain drop me a pm with your number if you'd like mate and I'll give you a shout
No need to cut grill, badge mechanism off and long screw driver through the grill mesh to the right if the latch, press hard on the driver whilst turning the key, don't tickle it, apply a fair amount of pressure and it should open
Do these at work all the time. Can usually do it without breaking anything now. You'll need some wooden or plastic wedges,a sharp screwdriver and a 10mm ratchett spanner.
