Hi, I know this is an old topic, but even though I’ve owned my griff for 5 years I’ve never needed to know, until now!

Was due to take my griff to my local car electrical guy this morning to sort a central locking fault. However, when I’ve got in to drive it over there today the battery is completely dead. Have a spare battery I maybe able to jump start it with but my lead for the Anderson connector is in the boot. With now electrical power release button won’t work of course. Can some one please DM me please and let me know the secret of manually release the boot. If anyone is worried about security I can do copy of my v5 or pics of me with car in garage or whatever to prove I’m not a thief!

Thanks, but leads are in the boot, and set I have fit the Anderson connector.

Car is in garage too at present, it’s a tight fit, see pic in link below, be very difficult to get to the battery itself even if I had standard leads!

Could do yea, but i haven’t any jump leads except the ones with the Anderson connector in the boot! My wife is at work in our other car so can’t even go get another set as nearest place I could get some is miles away!

Just need someone to direct message me as to how I get in to the boot manually!

Thanks, bit tricky doing that on my own!

Don’t know why someone just can DM me and let me into the secret!

Referred to my Steve Heath “bible”, that tells you how to release it, but when I tried that the thing that he says is there isn’t there???

My owners handbook makes no mention either?

How as a genuine owner am I supposed find out how to operate my own car? Frustrating!
