My ford focus wont open!
I haven't used it for the past few months as it lost power, and wouldnt start again.
Locked it and left it in my parking space. I want to sell it for scraps, but I have stuff in the boot I need to get out first!
Plus my permit runs out on the 8th december
Is it to do with the battery?
I've tried all the locks, and nothing!
Help!

Locks have probably seized due to never having been used (common on cars with central locking), try some wd40 in the locks and be gentle!
If the boot is electrically locked, then climb through the seats or sort the battery out.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

You are making very conflicting statements. only yesterday you statedN3WLIFE wrote:Anyway I drove it to camden on saturday, and in traffic after waiting for some time, the car shook quite violently and then shut off with the battery light coming on! It also takes a couple of tries before it actually starts up again!
Its been less than a month and this car is just unrelaible.
Is there anyway to get my money back, or will they make this hard for me?
I understand that this is a used car but it should be fit for purpose, and its not.
and now this are you sure its not been used in months?Total Debt in June 2013: Barclaycard 0% until Nov 2014: £1550

As per Strider's post the battery is most likely dead and the locks are seized up.0

I think I'll have to see if anyone can come round and start the battery-see if that works...0 -
How will he release the bonnet if he can't get into the car?
If he is scrapping it then just smash the window an hour before it is picked up and remove the stuff. Scrappy won't care about the windows.0
