Dead car

[Ascott]

Hi

I have a problem, I wanted to use the GS today but the car is totally dead, its as though the car doesn't even have a battery installed. I tried to open the boot but the internal release wouldn't work and for some reason the key didn't work either. Any bright ideas?
The car was used on Sunday and did about 150 miles, the only other thing that happened last week was the Radio and Sat nav was looked at by a dealer and when they returned the car the radio had no power ( due to go back to them to fix next week).

Any comments appreciated.

Regards

Ascott

Hi Ascott

I'm sorry to hear about this mate.
When you use the key can you turn the lock or is it siezed? If it is spray some WD in the lock and give it 15 mis to work then try it again. They tend to fill with water and sieze up as they are never used.

Hi as said boot lock very stiff unless used, I found pushing boot lid down whilst trying to turn it and wd40 works.

Try pushing down on the boot as your turning the key.
