Jump leads locked in boot!!

[hogbenc]

So it was bound to happen at some point......... after hibernating the Tam for a few weeks over Christmas i go to get in it and...... nothing!

Thankfully i always leave drivers window down when it's in the garage so i can still get in but now i have bigger problem.

My jump leads with the anderson connector are locked in the boot and my garage so quite narrow so there's no way to get down the passenger side, so the current plan is...

- Push car out of garage
- Jack up car, remove wheel so i can get to the battery and whack it on charge / jump it

If anyone has any cunning short cuts or ideas let me know!

Borrow an anderson cable from someone else?

If you've got some time: Use a trickle charger in the lighter socket. Will take a day or two, though...

PM me and I'll tell you what to do

I managed to get some charger clips into the socket where the anderson lead plugs in. Did the job enough to give me power to open the boot.

Sadly my secret entry had been removed by some previous owner (or more likely a clueless car stereo installer).

The secret boot entry is a new one to me and my leads are stored in the boot too. Can anyone pm me with the details..........just in case

Many thanks
