Just went to start the Griff and I have a flat battery, I think I know the best way to get in as it is locked, but could do with some advice so that I dont do any damage. Help please. If someone would send me an email rather than post how to do it I will gladly ring/email them.
Thanks Brightside

You could try getting some volts into the battery via the live terminal on the starter motor (requires groveling underneath). +ve on the motor -ve on the chassis. After a while you should be able to open the door normally.

Have a look in the frequently asked questions in this forum, its in there.

PS,

I never lock mine, so never have the problem (yes people do think i'm nuts) but its never been a problem.

Ed to add.

No need for directions Eh?

Would somebody mind e mailing me as well. I can just see this catching me out at some time in the future.
I don't lock the car in my own garage, but often use it for a weekend away, which is the most likely time the battery will let me down......
