Dead battery on a E270

[James McPartland]

I have just bought an e270 but is has now power. I think the battery is in the boot. But having no power I cannot open it. Is there a place on the car that i can put jump leads to give the car some power. Or is there a manual overide to get into the boot?
The back seat apears to be fixed.
Thank you for any advice

There will be a keyhole hidden up at the top of the number plate though it will probably be seized due to lack of use. A bit of a spray with light/penetrating oil may help.

If you can still open the car you should be able to find the charger attachment points under the bonnet which will hopefully get you sorted.

W211 saloon/limousine has no jump start points, estate/wagon has

passenger footwell pre-fuse box is pretty easy place to plug charger
