Hi and thank you for reading. I still have my MK6 2002 transit. I lock and unlock it by using the remote control. Today I went out to unlock it so I could prepare it for its MOT which is due. When pressing the button on the remote fob nothing happened. The kety lock have never worked so I could not undo the door manually. Assumiing the battery may be flat in the fob I replaced it with a new one. Still no joy. The transit is a flat bed recovery truck. At the back of the cab there is a vent about waist height. by removing this and manoeuvring a long wire I was able to hook the door handle and pull it back. Unfortunately the door still did not open. I assume this is because the deadlock is operated. if I were to drill the door lock out, would i be able to operate the deadlocks then? I would welcome any help to resolve this issue.
Kind regards
Tony
