Why won't the locks work with the key?

Have you tried to open the boot, climb though and pop the bonnet?

Fair enough.

I think a slim jim works though; they're not new enough to have the fancy "countermeasures" in the door, but the type of lock means you can't use good old plastic strapping to grab it.

I thought that only worked on the pneumatic central locking systems; Ford quite famously?
I thought it was Volkswagons?

Fords (cossies) you just kicked the bumper as allegedly the inertia switch was there somewhere.

I've seen the old half tennis ball trick done on a Ford Falcon, but it's quite likely that's not the same system they used in European cars. I'll add VWs to the list.
