I think my cerb hates me, it really does.
Anyway, it's going off to get yet another starter fitted next week (and i hope that the ringgrear is not busted) so i went out today to check how wet the inside was after the recent rain and to take it for a run as it hasn't been used in abtou 5 weeks.
Went to the boot first to get a cloth to check the oil and it won't open. Tried the doors, nope. Looks like the battery is flat and as it sits in a shared car park the bonnet and windows are sealed.

Before i put brick through the window can someone PM me any suggestions on how to get in or to the battery. I've tried the "other" method that we dare not post but i guess my technique was lacking.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't hate you, but 5 weeks to sit idle is a long time, mine is usually too flat to start after three and will also be too flat to operate the solenoids after 5.

It sat for about 12 weeks last year when the first starter went, windows and locks kept on working. Since i've owned it it's spent most of it's time sitting and it's been fine in the past frown
