Not in a position to help mate but if you say exactly where you are someone may be able to. Best of luck.

Hi David, good call i'm in Portsmouth at the moment and the car is in the Naval Base.




Now luckily electrics are my thing and looking at this photo i'm thinking that i need to be putting a live to the 10mm nut that has the big black cable going to it? But i'm sure it wasn't that obvious when i was looking in the car. Is it slightly different PF and FL? or an i even looking at the right bit?

Looking at that photo and counting from the left where would i put my jump leads?

Default Power

You seem to be working along the right lines there Dezzy. But rather than try to charge the battery....I would just connect an external battery to that power point.....Surely that would give you the power to operate the central locking?....And then investigate the battery from there

.

I did connect to the underside but couldn't get power so went into the relay board, second from the left on and earthed to the door hinge. Probably just a bad connetion under, it's a little tight under to see properly.

I'm in the boot now, hopefully the battery will take a charge.
