I know this is a sensitive subject but could anyone tell me if it,s possible to lift the bonnet without getting inside the car. the wife is going ballistic cus she cant use the washing machine which is next to the car, and having crawled around under it for the last hour I'm buggered if I can see how to get at the bonnett catches from above or below. My e:mail is stevef@blueyonder.co.uk and any help would be much appreciated. Expected to be fitting my decat pipes not trying to open doors.

Bugger

Thanks

Steve

Ok cars open put th charger on to get it sorted now the alarm is emiting a low level chirp as it charges and it also sounds like the fuelm pump is running very slowly (ignition of) as it charges. That said it could be anything it just sounds like the pump. I have another battery to hand could I jump it from this or will it make things worse.

Thanks again

Steve

Wished I'd stayed in Portugal.

I usually jump start mine if it's dead. I don't have power in my garage so I don't have much choice. Take it for a nice 40 mile drive after that to charge things up.

May I suggest you purchase an Accumate battery conditioner. You'll never be in this situation again!!

Sounds like a sensible idea, where can I pick one up ,noticed the TVRCC were doing them for 55 quid including p and p in April is that my best route.

never be in that situation again.... unless the missus doesn't shut the passenger door properly and the interior light drains it the weekend before a big trip away.

Bought my Accumate on Ebay for less than £25, unfortunately there isn't any on there at the moment.
