Default Tonights D2 Riddle

Car is in my garage, the battery is flat / dead and boot lock does not open with the key.

How on earth am I supposed to jump start the car?

I read all the posts and may try the fuse box option with a jump pack.

The boot lock just spins also with all my keys, suspect that's not right either!

May just buy a Booster/ Jump pack to go through the Cigarette socket, just need enough juice to get the central locking working.

The CTek chargers have an option for a cig lighter plug so you can charge up that way.

If you can get the front driver's side wheel off you could put jump leads on the starter junction box in the wheel well.

There is an earlier post on this - I had the same problem, and Ian (IT) correctly pointed out that you can also jump from the main cable (thick) connector which is in the front passenger footwell, under the carpet, by the wheel arch - a method I've used successfully, so hopefully this will work for you too.
