SOS! Can someone PM me how to get in to car with flat battery!!?

[AD77]

I've posted enough that I think it's clear I am genuine and not a thief! I'm slightly stuck here so if someone can PM me how to get in to cabin!!

[AD77]

I'm in to the cabin- how about getting in to the boot?!

Connect a charger to the battery, it'll give you enough juice to energise the basic electrics.

How do you get into the boot if the solenoid fails?

Mine is a facelift model (2000) so the usual emergency boot access isn't available. Hate to think you have to basically force it open.

if your battery is in the boot then possibly by pulling the switch out from under the dash and putting 12v on it from another source - most likely another battery.

If the solenoid is completely fubarred - good question

PM me with what you consider the "usual emergency boot access is", be cryptic if you like.

I have a 1999 and I know how to get into my boot even if the solenoid has failed and will explain it to you.
