make sure you come up with a plan to get in if the batteries dead!!!

 

attach a jump lead to the starter motor!

 

oh dear

 

as above jack the front of the car up then attach jump leads or a battery charger to the leads that go to the starter motor as these run straight to the battery

done this on mine loads of times as mines all delocked

 

good advice

 

have bonnet lifters so u can get to battery

 

good one wes.

 

Trist, shut it

Thanks for the advice, will try that once the old fart across the road moves his car, he's about 2mm away from my front bumper at the mo

 

dont you have to have something on the outside of the car that opens the doors, (like alot of people have them under the wing mirrors) for it to get through the mot?

 

LOL DOH! I always wondered what happened when people batterys went flat too with delocked doors

 

no you only have to have something to get in if you have it de handled (although technically you can just have the windows down for the MOT lol) de-locking it is fine for MOTs

Rhys - now you know, we think "I wish I'd have done something to be able to get in if the battery dies"

I think the boot lock will be returning, I've still go the actual push button on it, just no key hole

 

Best idea I ever heard was of some guy fitting a 9V square battery terminal, and wiring it direct to the solenoid for the door. Then he hid the terminal somewhere on the car (I have a feeling it in was the wheel arch liner attached to the repeater loom)

When the main batt goes he fits a battery and it pops the door.

 

ah sorry, assumed you had the handles flushed as well

for me

 

+ and - wires to the number plate screws then when your battery goes flat just touch the number plate screws with jump leads to pop the locks open

 

ive had this problem as well luckly for me i knew how to get into it afterward! but you could attach wires to the positive and negatives of the battry and then lead them to place and fasten em up securly so you can hook another battry to it if it happens again!

 

yeah will have to do something once I get in there

 

brick?

 

nah not my S1 windows mate, took me ages to get hold of them as it is lol

 

My old focus was de-locked and de-handled and the lad i swapped it with (for the RS) managed to lock himself out.......he drilled a 20mm hole in the floor and opened her up with some wire

 

im using 2 of these mate,,,,
(come in red & black)

tuck them away somewhere then forget about em,,,,, untill needed

 

u fools

don't delock ur cars..........but i like the idea of wirein da number plate screws to da battery

 

Small two pin plug under the grill - I also use it to connect the maintenance charger when the car is stored.

Just make sure you fuse it so its uleless for high current draw.

 

Climb in the boot thats what i do

 

oops!

 

Not quite that easy on a saff with a bolted in bass box

 

Think Wes' is fully de-locked isnt it?

Ive heard of people running a little wire underneath the car conencted to the door lock, when battery dies just pull on it to open the door, or something along those lines!

 

mines delocked but still got the boot lock, just incase!

 

Please learn to type properly on here. All this u and da crap

 

Snap

 

Mines fully de locked, and I have recently developed a habit of leaving the interior lamp on!!!

 

Happened to me loads of times when i had my battery draining prob Alex had to keep jacking it up and pulling the bonnet catch from the underneath job done

 

still not done anything with it

firs thing I'll do when I get home though
