This short story is a totally silly thing and a simple design fault by nissan, so i was just wondering if im the only dick who has done it, or atleast brave enough to admitting doing it...
Right, ive just got home after standing for two hours in the rain at a petrol station waiting for the RAC to arrive whilst i watched my car with its engine running, lights on and cd player going...
You must be wondering WFT!
My thoughts exactly aswell!
Put simply i locked my self out!
BUT its so easily done its the 2nd time since ive owned it!
The 1st time was xmas time, i was meant to be driving up north to visit relatives so thought id check the fluid levels oil etc before leaving, unlocked the car, left the keys on the seat popped the bonnet and went around, shut the boor and bonnet and realised the keys were on the seat, went to open the door and i was locked out!
Tried my spare fobs and the batteries were flat!!!
Got the RAC out who said it was a bitch to get in to BUT after 20mins managed to pop the catch...
Tonight went to a petrol station on the way home as one of my tiers was a bit flat, left the car runing whilst i ran around... went to jump back in locked out!!
BEST bit is, i had locked my wallet (inc RAC membership card) and phone in the car... FUCKED springs to mind!
Went in the garage, phone home got the old man to come down with spare fobbs, and they wouldnt work! (replaced batteries btw after last time)... i assume this is a NATS over protective thing assuming obvoiusly your in the car with everything runing hence y u locked the door and dont want anyone to get in!
2hours later the RAC arrive to carry out the same thing again...
My conclusion is, and the only thing i can think of is that the car doesnt lock me out but in actualy fact when i pull the door handle the back of my hand pushes the internal saftey lock just enough to lock the whole car down when i shut the door.
Anywho, i was left feeling a total dick stood in the rain whilst i had to tell people "sorry cant use the air and water machine as im a cock and locked my self outa the car with everything running"! lol.
I even found some lad in an Si with 'L' plates who kindly tried his non-NATS key in a desperate attempt it would unlock the door...'thanks if hes on here'.
Anyway moral of the story and more importantly note to self... never leave the keys in the car when exiting, or always check the internal catches before shutting the doors.
