Cannot get into my rover 75.

Hi there, I have already posted about my car 2 days ago but now have more up to date information.
I am desperate to get into my car without smashing a window!!!
My Rover 75 CDTi '53 plate will not allow me to unlock my doors via the key in door handle. The fob, which is partially broken, will allow me to lock my car but not to unlock it remotely.
The AA man came out and managed to get a wire into the car and tried to open the door handles on both sides at front. He also managed to press the hijack button on centre console. None of these actions would unlock the car. He mentioned it being "deadlocked."
He then unattatched the wiring from the windscreen water bottle and was hoping to remotely unwind the electric window (again via a wire slid through front door). BUT the wires to the water bottle were purple and black. On his guidance they should be lilac and brown! He therefore refused to go any further in case of fritzing the electrics.
The battery works fine, tested!
Can anyone help me to find another way into my car and/or let me know if the water bottle wiring is a way into the car via windows AND whether it matters that the wires are black/purple and not lilac/brown? PLEASE HELP!!
