Thanks for this advice. I will need to remove a plastic shield under the front of the car too I think. What would I attach the negative terminal on the charger to?

Still locked out! Rac could not get in either. Locks are deadlocked. Pulling the handle with wire did not work. Even if I could get in there won't be able to open the passenger door to be able to pull the bonnet lever. I currently have no car and a very large garden ornament . I can't believe there is no way into the car. The manual key lock on the driver's door doesn't do anything.

Thanks JR. I was the 2nd owner of the car when I bought it in 2019. I have both keys and they certainly seem to fit the barrel but there's no real resistance when you turn the key. I can't get underneath where it's currently parked so through the grille may be an option. Will need to find a video. It's never happened toe before and I thought the manual key lock would sort it out. Obviously not. Thanks again for the reply

Hello. I have a 2014 fabia estate. After sitting for 2 weeks the battery is flat and I cannot get in to pop the bonnet. Nothing online I've seen helps. The manual key lock on the driver's door does not have a cover so I thought it was just a case of using the key. Despite the key turning freely in the barrel nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? (Apart from not starting my car for 2 weeks!) Thanks in advance
