Battery had died on my 7.1 GT3 and I tried to get into it today after about 2 weeks (normally fine) and there was zero power. Couldn't open the bonnet so did the whole attach jump leads to the emergency pull thing in the fusebox and door strap, yet still no joy. I was getting a little spark when attaching the leads, so there was juice going, but zero happening.

Any ideas? I tried searching for a fuse for the bonnet release (there is one for the rear hood release) but no joy. Very confused.

Also, rather worryingly, after I'd opened the car with the key, I put it in the ignition to see if there was any juice, but the key locked in and wouldn't release. It only came out when a brief amount of current appears have unlocked something in the ignition. Was worried I'd have to abandon the car with the key in frown
