An old chestnut (and really irritating 996 design flaw). My battery is dead and I can't open the bonnet to access the battery to jump start the car.
There are three options as far as I know.
1. Use a jump box earthed to the door hinge and connected to a pull out contact in the fuse box. I don't have one of those jump boxes but would buy one if I was pretty sure it would work.
2. You find the cable under the wheel arch under the wheel arch lining and basically I presume pull on it to manual open the bonnet.
3. You use a very narrow screwdriver down between the bonnet and boot levers and ease the culprit, a little metal plate inwards towards the centre of the car to enable the bonnet lever to work. I tried this with a knife but couldn't get it to do anything. Do you need a really super skinny screwdriver?
What's the easiest most fool proof method?
Thanks
