Ok after comming home from a 16hour night shift ive left the lights on my mk1 tuscan and left them on for 7 hours whilst i kipped like a baby, whoops!

Now the doors wont open and i cant get in, i know theres a way to get in to the boot, which i wont mention on here. thing is i dont have anderson jump cables and realy need to get back on to the road asap.

does anyone know if i can call the RAC to get me started? or how i can jump start the car?

any help would be most appreciated

thanks guys!!!

Front left wheel off, battery cover off, connect jump leads directly to the battery, start car, refit cover and wheel, job's a goddun! smile

Many ways to skin a cat; I was quite surprised to see how my 'local' dealership opened my flat T350! But, for a jump-start you'll need a pretty solid connection, preferably the Anderson connector or directly on to the battery. As described above will do it.

Personally, I'd just call the RAC or your local dealership.
