(Mk2 Phase 1)

It was inevitable. My door poppers have gave up and I njeed to get into my Clio, Cant open the bonnet as the bonnet pull is inside, and the cowboy bodyshop have broken my "other" way to get in!

No i told you so, But what window is going to be cheapest? I'm presuming drivers door?

thanks

N/S or O/S windows, front windows. Not the rear, they well, have to be fitted so they could end up costing more.

Maybe ring around a few local scrappy's and see what they have first?

 

[kpowell911]

good idea

I'm goign to go try bodge the bonnet open first It could be the batteries too fla tfor the poppers to work.

Get a Windscreen firm to remove the windscreen, although that made not be cheap and probably bugger up the windscreen lol. Forget I said that.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

its a 1.2 right? is there not enough room to reach up inside the engine bay to attach jump leads to the battery?

 

[madmike1]

can you not get in the boot?

^^ It's delocked all round...

 

[kpowell911]

can you not get in the boot?

thats smoothed and runs off a popper too And I've still got the wiper so cant get in that way!

 

[kiza1986]

Would have thought the windscreen was cheapest as its only £50 on the insurance isnt it??

Are you in the AA , Rac ??? Maybe they can get in the car ??

 

[kpowell911]

My mom said that, I'm unsure if Its covered now, I havent used the car for almost a year!

Can you not bend the door enough to get an arm down inside and pull up the locky thing?

 

[kpowell911]

they have gone too lol! No way can I get an arm down!

Wonder if I could open the door with a coat hanger?

That would wreck the door, and possibly ruin his smoothing.

coat hanger down the window

or i have heard jump pack on the back of the big live on the alternator and the other earth to bottom if gearbox say bobs your uncle. but rears are the cheapist even though u got to have them bonded

 

[Fred@BTM]

good plan!

 

[lemonnobby]

I have heard it work but never tried it personally but its easy to get to being a 1.2

 

[kpowell911]

couldnt get to the alternator as its too low to get on the jack, So I pout the window through. Had to get a mate to do it, I didnt have it in me

my rear passengers side was only £50 to replace

 

[mini-valver]

Any window is £60 excess on insurance.
