V50 General : Can't open doors!!!

[gell68]

Did a search but can't quite find what I'm looking for - maybe I'm just not searching properly or in the right place!

Question I have is - how can I get into the car or charge the battery as reckon my wife has run it flat by leaving the side lights on last night - although I'd have thought there would have been a cut-off like our S60.

Fobs do nothing and don't have a normal key to open drivers door!

Can I get enough power to operate doors without having to force entry?

Any help welcome!

the key is in the top of the keyfob (silver metal bit) if you look to the side of the silver bit there's a little latch pull that and then pull the metal bit out (which is the key)

You sure it was the wife?

Cough, I had this same problem with my V50, where I got blamed for leaving something on, my wife read out the error codes and it frightened the life out of me, it turned out that the Alternator had failed on the V50, and hence not charging the battery..
