Dead battery - can't get into Neutral
« on: 14 November 2015, 08:51:36 »
Hi all,

2002 Omega MV6 Auto

Battery is dead, bonnet cable has snapped which is a bugger as well. Cars on a neighbouring driveway but needs to be shifted.

I can't get it out of Park so that I can push it into the road for further investigation, which I believe is because the battery is dead and there's no power - is there a manual override to get into neutral so I can, at the very least, get the car moved?

John.

Yep... It's in the manual ;)

Pull the gear shifter surround up and there is a little yellow lever on the side of the stick at the bottom. Right hand side IIRC.

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Are you sure bonnet cable snapped. Sometimes getting a helper to push the front of the bonnet down and pulling the lever the bonnet will open.

Read The (insert word of choice beginning with 'F' here) Manual :D

Although I should add, in the name of pedantry; there's no 'f' in 'manual' ;D
