Flat battery aston vantage roadster

[Rferguson]

Can anyone help.
My vantage v8 roadster is locked and the battery is flat. I have no access to the inside. What do I do next. How can I open the bonnet or doors?

Do you have the metal key which will of en the passenger door

[Rferguson]

I have a key but the windows do not drop to allow the door to open

This happened to me. The door will open if you pull it but it won't close again. I called AM assistance and they came out and charged the battery for an hour and then the car would power up.

Success

I unlocked the door and eased open from the bottom of the door and this done the trick. Now charging the battery as per instructions. Purchased battery conditioner and will make sure I install it next time.

Now how do reset everything?

Beat me to it Neil. This covers seats and windows, not having owned a roadster I don't know if the roof needs resetting or not?

On mine the roof would not work after recharging a flat battery ("roof operation not possible") - this was fixed by resetting both the side windows.

When i had mine, I had a couple of battery issues (new battery required and car left undriven for 2-3 weeks and wouldn't start).

I had to go to the dealership to get the folding mirrors reprogrammed each time - neither Aston assist or my local independent could help.
Two minute job at the dealers.

And a fifty quid bill.

All reset apart from the mirrors. Thanks for the advice. Service due in Feb mirrors can wait till then.
