Ive tapped it as is. Bottom cover is still on. RAC never came had to leave the car. Going back this morning. Maybe i can ask him to try that with cover off. Also need divine intervention as theres no guarantee it will release on him removing cover and tapping it
Is it okay to order another used one for £86? Its a 000D part or 2011 automatic it was pulled from. Then get the mechanic to fit then remove the fuse. Someone said the fuse can be blown and reinserted after or a tape wrapped around it.
Also will I need to replace the BCM (body control module) as well? Or should i just try the replacement lock first? Maybe I can get a mobile mechanic or garage to fit this part.
