I appreciate nobody is going to post the answer on an open forum but whilst out on Saturday I had my first "oh no..." moment when my key seemingly failed to 'connect' to the car in a multi-story car park 30 miles from home.

After much frantic pressing of the fob it eventually worked and the lights flashed and the window dropped but for a few moments the missus and I were very concerned. It made me realise that I had no idea how to get into the car and get home should the key-battery ever fail.

If someone could just PM me the details of what to do. I had a Chimaera before and that was soooo easy to get into but the Tuscan has a more rigid issue to overcome.

A quick flip through my posting history on PH (and in the Tuscan section in particular) ought to alleviate any concerns about my ownership status.

Could someone please PM me with a resolution.

Ta in advance.

I thought I knew the how to get in with no power, but when I left the head lighs on for about 7 hours I found I didn't! The windows came down after a while so was able to move the car to a position I could get to the battery. I clearly dont kwow the secret way in, so if someone would enlighten me by PM I would be greatful.

Out of interest, when you're collecting these cars having bought them, doesn't the dealer tell you the secret way to get in?

I'm not doubting you at all but I think you need to update your profile as there is not even the mention of a Tuscan-to-be on it or perhaps link to a previous posting that confirms you've actually bought one.

People on here are pretty cautious about giving this info away and rightly so.
