should i cisconect the bat

That would re set the whole thing, worth a try

 

[Dosco]

yes and all fuses

Did the same thing a while back having closed the lid with the plastic trim covering the boot lip removed thus not depressing the switch in the lid fooling the electrical circuit into believing the boot is open therefore making the release switch in the car inoperable.

It is possible to release the boot lid lock with the key but it is not a 'do it once and all is well' it took me over 30 min to get the thing to release. What worked for me was pushing very hard on the key with a pair of long nose pliers to push the barrel as far as possible into into the lock mechanism to release the lid, you do have to persevere though.

Yes the above is true and when done its worth getting the little plastic key blanks that keep the water out

Oh dear then try removing the rubber seal around the boot lock and attempt it again - forgot to mention that is what I had to do.

Just read your LAST POST - AVOID DOING THIS AS IT IS A RIGHT BU**ER TO GET IT BACK IN.

Yes re the charger,,they give out 18volt when the battery is not plugged in.

If you would like one I can send you one that works

Ah I was thinking of the Vin/boot lid water ingress thingy

But on the charger I have got mine to pieces at the moment so will check the voltage output and get back to you.

Cheers and many thanks
