Hi all!

I'm just after a bit of advice. My DB7 has been laid up in the garage since October due to work and the awful weather up north. I had it on a trickle charger and conditioner which has always worked fine. However, this time it seems it hasn't done its job properly.

As is typical with these things, I removed the charger as normal, let the boot close, went to start up the car and then realised something was up. As the boot is power operated I now can't get back in to recharge the battery or even jump start it.

Can anybody help?! I should realised when the window didn't drop properly when I open the drivers door but as usual I was too excited to get my car out and make the most of a sunny morning (which has now turned cloudy...).

Thanks in advance (I also feel like a bit of a pillock).

Cheers for the advice. I've had the car since June and had no idea there was a lock under the badge. Apologies for being a complete tool.

I got the car started and took it out for a good run, all seems OK now but I'm heading out to buy a new charger for it.

Cheers for the advice everybody. A new battery is on order as I expect the plates have now furred up inside.

It was nice to get the car out whilst it was dry, I miss driving it when the weather is wet and miserable!
