Hi,

My X (2000) reg V70 has a very dead battery - the remote locker will not open the doors, neither will using the actual key in the doors. When using the door key, it clunks and the knob moves up a small amount. It has been suggested to me that the opening is partly powered and therefore that is why it does not work.

Any assistance in being able to get in to re-charge the battery, or charge the battery without getting into the car (is that even possible?!) would be appreciated. I need to work out how to get into the boot!

Once re-charged it is going up for sale (decent condition and just over 100,000 on the clock), so solutions of reasonably low expense!

Thanks
