    is it your garage ?
    if its council drill some holes in the door, tie on a tow rope and pull the bugger off, then phone the council and tell them its been broken into and you want it fixed pronto

    Re: Oh crap!

    Why can't the car be dropped down and rolled foward? if you've slammed the dor and its on the car and now the door won't open, pull the top of the door toward you and push the bottom in gently while you turn the handle.

    Gary the cars on 4 axel stands with the only access being through the garage door, not touching the roof as it might be asbestos. Think it's gonna need 2 people to hold the corners and one to wiggle the handle. What a d1ck I am! On the Plus side the work I did in the r5 went without a hitch!

    chances are it won't be asbestos but I wouldn't bother savor will be more hassle than its worth. Get some people pulling the door as the handle only connects to the latches with cables and they are most probs just streaching and not pulling the latches back.

    Push the door slightly whilst moving the handle, it should open

    Don't touch a council garage roof unless you fancy a naked hose down by strange decontamination men.
