now my car is more fcuked and looks even shitter 
Locking broke on Sunday morning at 3am, so i was locked out. Tried for about 30mins to get in, then left car and walked home..
Next day:
tried to cut out a rear quarter window and didn't get too far, cut the rubber out and could't get thru the sealant, so window just looks crap now.
and i scratched all around the window.....
was about to put a brick thru it, then i thought i'd call RAC.
Bloke came, couldn't unlock it, got in thru boot somehow 
but still couldn't get locks undone cos of the deadlocks and immobiliser was on.
so he disconnected alarm and left, so i gotta climb thru window and get a funny noise where the alarm trys to activate when i start car.
anyways, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii got car home and took yesterday off work, managed to unlock car with a coat hanger after much effort, haven't wanted to risk locking it since.
Brought a remote entry thingy (with keypad), and gotta get that fitted now, looked a bit complicated to me 
Fcuking car

Maybe it's the solenoid on the driver's door that is fucked?

You can get into Nova's by pullin up the rubber, puttin a number plate (or similar) and wigglein it around the lock area. Easier and less chance of scratches IMO.
May help if u get stuck again

This broke on my locking barrell to - if its a small rod-ring like thing with a really small ball bearing in in?
I de-locked my car after this happened as Vauxhall say its such a common fault they always carry the parts in stock.
BTW Vauxhall wanted £74 to fix it, the parts were £2.50 trade and me and amate fixed mine no problems.
