Nova's are known be targeted by thiefs... well ive locked my one and only key inside the car. the boot is back up against a tool chest and the doors dont have standard locks.
I want to get into it without much damage really as i cant afford to repair it!:tard:
So if someone wouldnt mind pm'ing me as im guessing you dont want it broadcasted over the internet!
What locks do they have?
Solex ones?
smash your quater window if needs be. only cost a fiver if that from a scrappie. had that done to mine when it got broken into

Not sure, its a sperate key to the ignition key, it looks like a d-lock key...turn it downwards to unlock and upwards to lock it.
But all keys are in the car!

smash one of the small windows next to the wing mirrors and reach in to unlock it from the inside.
do the same as someone on here had done to them. cut either a rear quarter or rear window rubber seal so the window comes out
Yeah i had my rear 1/4 seal cut out for the lovely pikeys to get in without smashing glass
Lift up the window rubber on the door and you should be able to slide a ruler down towards the back off the door near the catch and press the rocker that will lift the door pin up.
The description you gave sounds like Solex locks. You want to make sure you haven't "properly" locked the side you're going to break in to in that case (so you can't pull the pin up) before smashing any glass. :)
