Hi, just a quick question and quick answer please.

if for any reason my Octavia suffered a completely dead battery would it be possible to get into the car ? 

Fortunately I don't have that problem and hope I never will but I have a very good imagination,

I don't want any technical details just a yes or no is sufficient, ( I don't want any useful info to go to potential car thieves )

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Best regards to all. George

Yes

Yes, it is all here and your not giving anything to potential car thieves the manufacturers actually thought about that problem :) and published it in the handbook.

Yes prising off emergency key access on the drivers door  , but until you get some charge into the battery you won't be able to get under the bonnet. Bad design for RHD conversion - you need to be able to open the "passenger" door to be able to pull the bonnet release. 

 

A friend of mine had this problem when starting his car again after it was parked up for a few months due to ill health. Breakdown company trickle charged through the 12v power socket until central locking could be operated

Hi George :hi:

been a whike since i saw any posts from you, was starting to worry you'd left Brisky :)

thanks to everyone that replied, am very grateful.

i shall endeavour to read the manual, its always a last resort for me, first I have to find it!

Hi Mac thanks for the comment, I will let Brisky know if i decide to leave and give thanks to all who have been so good to me with advice, 

I can't foresee it happening in my lifetime though

Best regards to all, George
