I've done a stupid thing

[ericgreveson]

I've been away for a bit, and haven't driven the Tuscan in a couple of weeks, so when I came back it turned out that the battery has gone completely flat.

So far, not too big a deal... except I appear to have left the Anderson connector jump leads in the boot - well, I can't find them anywhere else, at least. The boot obviously won't open because the battery is completely dead. I would appreciate any help / suggestions to sort this out! (ideally today while the weather's nice and I'm at home). I don't have a battery conditioner, but I do have another car handy to jump start the TVR from. Options as I see them:

1) I am aware of a "secret entry method" but I don't know the details - maybe this would help get in?
2) Jack the car up, take off the front nearside wheel, open up the battery box and use a normal set of jump leads (unfortunately I don't think I have a normal set in the house)
3) Buy another set of Anderson connector jump leads and use those
4) [optimistic] I wonder if someone else in the South Oxfordshire area with a spare set of Anderson connector jump leads might be able to help me out?!

Let me know if anyone has any bright ideas, or I'll probably go for option 3. Thanks in advance!

I've sent you an email with instructions

Thanks! Message received, I'm going outside to try it out now... will let you know how I get on.

And now, all fixed! Thanks again

Hi I've gone one better and locked my only key in my Tuscan. The windows went up when I connected the battery.
Can anyone help. I've heard of the secret opening method. I'm of course willing to prove I own the car before anyone tells me as I am new to the site. Any help will be very much appreciated as I'm desperate to get it running for the big meeting next sun. Thanks in advance Matt.

Sorry, but none of the members on here will provide you with this information, as you do not have any mileage on the forum. All I would suggest is that you contact the garage or previous owner of the vehicle.
