Something I have started doing when I found I had just anough power to open the doors but not start, I keep the bonnet open rather than lock it down. I can understand it depends where you live and if it is inside or not but it saves a lot of hassle when you need to open the bonnet when you cannot get in.

There is another way of getting into the bonnet when you can't get into the car.

Can you not get a battery and attach cables to the fuse box/door control box so you can get enough power to pop the door open? Sure theres a few threads on this and some kind person even tells you what wires you need

I know why you've done this, but I don't think it's necessary. Hardly like it's a secret and wouldn't help to steal the car.... If you weren't worried about the paintwork it would be a piece of piss to open the bonnet anyway.....

Cooky do you have the boot open?

On the fuse board are two large brass connectors (well there is on mine).

The right one is the positive and I connected the negative to the fuel tank sender rim.

Mine charged OK from there! But it should at least get the door open for you?

Thanks for the help chaps. the release handle and cable has finally thawed out. Battery removed and
will be charged up. Now, if only I could find another set of RL 7's or even a pair I just might be able to get to drive the thing someday soon.

Cooky try Fernhurst, I managed to get an old one as a spare from them last November.
Needs a refurb still, but I have a slight ovality on one of mine that I'd like to get rid of.

Indeed it might be worth asking at any of the main dealer/sellers of TVR's as when they fit new wheels the old ones seem to be unloved and piled up at the back of the workshop.
