i take it there is no lock on the tailgate, like on prefacelift estate?

Baz, it should turn! Just be very stiff....

Danny, red light is normal on the remote, indicates you have pressed the button.


SNAP!!!, Just tried to get into my MV6 (Facelift) Battrey's completely Flat (the 12v one), I know about this turn it hard because I got in Miggy's b4 like this but mines having none of it, if you turn it really hard it will click but still deadlocked.

I assume its because of the dead battery, I'm going to try tomorrow (too cold now) with some jump leads if I go underneath and connect +12v to the Poss on starter motor will that get back to the battery (or is there a relay in the way? or any other ways of poping the Bonnet without breaking something?

Any luck yet?  You probably saw that I finally gained entry through the tailgate - which was stiff, but a lot more easy to turn than the drivers door (which I still never managed to shift with the key).  On charge all night, and a nice little run up to the Cobblers ground and back this afternoon to help keep it that way.

Sorry - can't answer your direct question of where else to connect the charger/jump leads...

No, I must admit I got side tracked today, Mines an Estate so should be a doddle but the tail gate wont open either?

The MV6 is off the road at the moment (its waiting for its MOT), I sort of think when I solve the problem, gonna get one of those Solar Panel chargers that fits in your ciggy lighter, I think the rear one not switched through the ignition?

Yes that works, tried it today, back in now. Thank you zirk, your welcome.
