Jabbah Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My battery has gone flat and so the central locking won't work, but also when I put the key in the drivers side lock I can't turn it to unlock the door to open the bonnet to charge it. What can I do? Is there a way to pop the bonnet to connect a charger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So the lock is stuck? Try some WD40 or PlusGas or whatever you have handy, it's just a little stuck. A stark reminder to us all to operate that lock every now and then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbah Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 There's definitely a bit of play in it, I've tried squirting some WD40 through whatever orifice I can find so will let that soak in. Feels more like the wrong key, don't think I ever tried it since I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If push comes to shove, the bonnet release cable is situated at the top and behind the R/H/F arch liner. Giving it a gentle tug with some one pressing on the bonnet nib should release the bonnet to access the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbah Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 WD40 worked, with a hard twist to the left first. Cheers, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
