Locked out but not the usual reason - update - i'm in, phew
So, following a wiring problem, need a new fuse board as when doors are locked, I cannot open them with the key fob or the internal button, access is through the tail gate.
To unlock the doors I have switched my knackered fuseboard for a second hand one which will not start the car, but allows me to unlock all doors using the dash button, i then put my original one back so i can start the car and use it, remembering not to lock it. (new fuse board will be fitted next week) anyway to add to my woes, i accidentally locked the car up last night, so tried to switch the boards again to unlock it, anyway i removed the board but ran out of time and had to go to work with the intention of sorting it when i finished. so with the fuse board removed, i left the battery disconnected and closed the tailgate. when i returned some hours later, the tailgate is now locked along with all other doors which are deadlocked. Fuseboard disconnected...how can I get in without smashing a window? Tried the emergency door lock procedure and it still doesnt open
Many thanks

Got yourself into a right pickle there.
With CJB disconnected, doors locked and non-fuctioning emergency lock all traditional methods are out of the window. Should there be a way of breaking in from this point onwards I would hope nobody would post it. Indeed, I hope no non-damaging method exists.
You can add power to the car of course, if that helps, via the starter or via the tow electrics if you have them fitted.
