I've tried both keys from both fobs and they have gone in fully and I've turned a full 90degrees both ways and the stub does no pop up. Do I need to turn more?Maniac wrote:The manual key should open the lock on the drivers side, it can be stiff to operate.
That should get you in and able to open the bonnet for a booster/charger.
Other than that it's going to be very tricky.
I will attempt this later. I just did not think they require that much turning beyond 90degrees!Maniac wrote:As they get little to no use they (at least mine when I tried it recently) take a bit more pressure than you feel comfortable with.
Is there a way of getting the bonnet open without having to go into the cabin? I suspect not given it would be a security concernE89_Gaz wrote:Your battery is in the boot under the floor, but there is a charging point under the bonnet.

The key worked in the end for me. I had to really turn the key for the lock to pop up
Clearly I need to hit the gym a bit more!
You are probably correct.cj10jeeper wrote:You'll need a new battery if it's been that dead fro c6 months. Simply won't hold a decent charge now and will fail at the first ask.

I am looking on euro car parts for a battery (I was looking for a battery charger to begin with but may as well put the money towards a new battery)
I've been reading that replacing a battery is not straightforward on the Z4 and can cause problems?
