If it's the locks (you've typed looks!!) you're talking about then it should have a seperate blue fob to lock and unlock the doors.

Did not get one as said he had lost it

Surely the key physically put into the lock should work?

Tomtom, what year Turbo 2000 is it?

hhmmm, probabaly something to check before handing money over?

So, you have no radio key fob, and the key doesn't fit the locks.

At risk of stating the obvious, you either have the wrong key, or the wrong car.

Please tell us you haven't bought a car without the keys

Could be the door locks have been changed if so may be
worth double checking the vin against the v5 to make sure everything
matches.

Was the car bought from a trader or private sale?

Tomtom2012

It was private key starts car and that's it have to lock by hand

When you say "lock by hand" do you mean use the key
in the door?

Probably the locks are seized from underuse. Mine used to seize up and of course only noticed when i went to use them

I love posts like these. The OP keeps posting snippets of information and we all try and guess the problem.

Have you got the pin for the keypad??

How do you start the car?

If you have the pin you can get new fobs and programme them. If you still have the original alarm.

From your posts its not very clear, if you can answer above it would help.

Could be a 2/3 pager this
Does the key work in the door lock Yes / NO
Does the key turn the ignition Yes/No
Alarm pin code Yes /NO
Did you buy the car from a dodgy looking bloke at a gypsy fair at Appleby Yes /No


Once we have more info we can move forward with this puzzle

Then how do you open it? You say you don't have a fob?

The fact that he 'brought' the car means that I'm out before I have even started.

This must be a wind up?

You could always get an after market alarm like clifford or something then you'd get a fob to open everything, added security and a tracker depending on which you buy

Have you checked it's the correct vehicle

Battery gone in the remote is my guess.

I just think the OP is retarded

So the battery has gone (with the fob)?

Subscribed, just want to know how the hell he gets the door unlocked.

lordharding

iTrader: (1)

I want to know if he is maybe locked inside the car and can't get out

Imagine how gutted you would be. Years of wanting and saving up for your dream UK Turbo 2000 but you purchase one without a key

Minutes later "oh drat."

Don't say that, I got in the back of my car and locked it whilst testing the alarm. Unlocked it and realised I've got the kiddie locks on

Matt_STi

clearly the only option appears to be you'll have to lock the doors by hand or buy an aftermarket alarm.
