In their own words

The only serious problem I had was when the wing mirrors failed to collapse I tried persistently and could hear the motor working but no action. Then we had a day out and found when I parked the car, the doors refused to open and the windows did not operate at all. Fortunately, one rear door lock had been a problem and was booked in to be fixed, but because that door lock was faulty it opened. The only way to unlock the other doors was to insert the key into the drivers door and open it. Then the windows worked again. Frightening. The battery in the key fob was fine, but no response from any functiobn other than the sounds of the motors trying to operate. No windows would open. If this happens again, is there a way to defeat the car's electronics and open the doors manually?
