You should have an Anderson connector, shouldn´t you?

Plug it into the socket underneath the car on the passenger side and the do as usual.

[gwionsavill]

not sure, where would the connector be?

[Targarama]

He just said. Under the passenger side footwell, behind the wheel arch. You will need the right connector. Otherwise you have to remove the front left wheel, then the plastic battery cover and connect directly to the battery.

[gwionsavill]

I meant is the lead for the connector in the footwell stored in the car somwhere actually.

Thanks

They don't come standard, you have to buy them I think.

[gwionsavill]

thanks ill sort one in the morning

[Targarama]

If you need jump starting why not call the recovery services? I can't believe you don't have cover, after all you own a TVR :-)

[Lensey]

Have you looked in the little compartment in the boot for the leads?

I've heard that jump starting can kill the dash board ECU, and from two different sources (including a dealer that had to fix one)

I think we get the message James!

I've lost count of the number of times that I've jump started mine, however I've yet to 'kill' the dash ECU. Connect +ve first and away you go...

+ve first? So the reverse of normal then?

No, you should always connect the positive first.

No, you should always connect the positive first.

Always thought it was -ve first to avoid a short - guess I've just been lucky all these years.

-ve first when disconnecting the battery +ve first when jumping or re-connecting the battery
