A flat battery and a disconnected battery are after all the same thing .
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect battery are' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'many of us have been there' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect battery are' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Suggestion
If you have the levers then you undo the x3 allen keys , 5mm in the trim panel that holds then , prise it up and you will disconnect the lever from the solenoid , just move it the opposite way and you can open the bonnet via the lever as its now unlocked .

I spent a whole morning replacing a perfectly good radiator fan because I did not read my own notes properly as to which one was actually faulty!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys
As I'm off the road at the moment due to broken bones in foot I thought I'd send my wheel off to be retrimmed
Took battery off prior to air bag removal then CLOSED BONNET
So in a few days when I refit the wheel I'll need to open bonnet
Mines a gen 1 I believe using the fuse charging point won't work as the circuit is not complete
So Iv no option but to remove the wheel arch liner to acces the release cable
Any hints or tips .
Carnt believe I closed the bonnet !!
Thanks for any help

I thought the 996.1s had a cable release from the door sill anyway? .2s have the silly switch release.
Cable release
Iv not tried looking behind fuse box for cable as I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have one
Early gen 1 had the lever release for bonnet and boot which you can acces by removing the Allen screws from the side I think
Mines a 2001 carrera 4 which has the two small switches I am so Ill with closing the bonnet !
Luckily got wheel key in car I'll have to use wife's jack to remove wheel
Iv read it's easier with driver wheel off
If it has switches for the boot / bonnet release then the red tab and a jump pack will work .. you just have to press the fob button and the bonnet button several times to get it to work.

Thanks for your replies
Wheel should arrive two days
I don't have a boost pack will a trickle charger attached to fuse and earth still do the trick?
I don't have jump leads either!
Thanks again I'll let you know which one works
Cannot try any yet as airbag still off
Phil
My CTEK has a power supply mode that would do the job. Some trickle chargers will not give any power until they read a level of voltage in the connectors and won't work.
Bonnet update
Hi guys
Iv good news my new wheel arrived and Iv fitted it also used my trickle charger on fuse point and Earth and bingo the remote popped bonnet
Thanks god !
Thanks for your replies
I'm trying to upload some pics of car and wheel as attachments but it won't have it!
I'll keep trying
There is a size limit on the images of either 1mb or 1.5mb i believe so use Paint to resize the images ..
If not email them to me and i'll do it for you .. be aware you can't email more than about 10mb in one message .
