Hi,
It looks like the battery is flat on my car and I am unable to gain access.
My problem is the car is parked tight against the passangers side wall of the garage and the handbrake is on. So I can't get the wheel of to get to the battery..
I have managed to get the boot open and release the hinges to remove the roof but the centre catch is on so I can't get the roof of to release the handbrake. This would allow me to move the car out of the garage and remove the wheel.
Any help would be great.

yours desperatley
George B

Thats what ive been thinking but I don't have the leads, I think I'll order them tonight from Leven they won't go wrong ,but It would still be very difficult to attach I have left no room on Passangers side.

Err scuse be being a bit backward, but if your in the boot can't you take the rear screen out!

You could almost reach in and let the handbrake off!

Or have I missed the point!

Big Al, Thanx for suggestion!

Ive never had the screen out so hadn't thought of that I'll give it a go.

Be careful....unpiloted cars have a mind of their own! Especially if there's a gradient involved

OKAY Iv'e managed to get into the car via the rear screen(thanks Big Al).
Is there any way I can charge the battery up without removing the wheel the car Jack I have wont fit. I plan to buy a trickle charger but what does it attach too can it charge via cigarette lighter?.
