Hey all.
I'm looking after my friends tvr 350c who is away for 6 months and as i'm ex technician he left the car with me to run and look after. This is my first experience of owning a tvr. I have had no problems UNTIL NOW!!
I have been away for two weeks and came back to find the battery has gone flat.
How the hell do i get into it so that i can jump the battery and get it going again??
I'm sure (like me) we dont want everyone knowing how to get into the tvr. If you can PM me that would be really helpful. Or just any info or advise.

Cheers

As it is your first post on PH, no body here is going to tell you how to get into a TVR. I can, however, tell you that there is an Anderson plug behind the front nearside wheel under the sill. Hope that helps.

There has been a lot of posts in the last few months from first time posters and those that have only posted a few times enquiring how to get in without a key.

OP, your only way in with a flat battery and only two posts to your name is to cut the roof off.

Sorry, mate nobody is going to tell you how to 'break' in.

To be honest if your going to leave it standing for 2 weeks plus you might as well leave it alone now.

When he comes back he should know how to connect a charger and start her up.

I also would rather every one didnt know how the hell to get into the car on my drive so im in the same boat as you guys. I have looked on line and seen that the only bit of advice is to call a tvr dealer and have a chat with them. Still love driving it when i can get in it! ahahahaha. Cheers

I have emailed him as he is out of the uk but as an ex tech and trusted to look after the car i didnt want to look like a total tool all at the same time!
After i have posted this i now seem how bad it sounds! im really not steeling it. But thanks for you help and i full understand how bad this looks.
