Says it all - not fired up for some weeks, and not a flutter. Is there an alternative way to open the bonnet from the outside to put enough charge in/change the battery?

Open the doors then the bonnet on a Cerb yes but a Sag? I take it you now have a Cerb with an iffy bat.

Think you might have to get into the car the secret way before opening the the bonnet.
I might be wrong though......sure someone will catch me out!

Yes, we're down to the four Tivs - Chimaera has sold, so this is the 4.2 Cerb I am on about.

If there is a "secret way" into the Cerb - particularly the bonnet for a battery charge/change out please mail me.

I doubt that anyone on here will tell you how to get in. The normal advice is to contact the person you bought it from or the garage who services your car.

Sorry

All's well that ends well - thanks for the mails, much appreciated. New battery installed, fired up first time, running fine.
