Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

As above, this worked for me the other week when a 7.2 GT3 RS went flat in my trailer.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Battery had died on my 7.1 GT3 and I tried to get into it today after about 2 weeks (normally fine) and there was zero power. Couldn't open the bonnet so did the whole attach jump leads to the emergency pull thing in the fusebox and door strap, yet still no joy. I was getting a little spark when attaching the leads, so there was juice going, but zero happening. Any ideas? I tried searching for a fuse for the bonnet release (there is one for the rear hood release) but no joy. Very confused. Also, rather worryingly, after I'd opened the car with the key, I put it in the ignition to see if there was any juice, but the key locked in and wouldn't release. It only came out when a brief amount of current appears have unlocked something in the ignition. Was worried I'd have to abandon the car with the key in

Been there a few times....after you connect the slave battery leave for a few minutes and press bonnet release on key fob...usually opens bonnet first time...mines always worked when the floor mounted buttons didn't. Good luck. Ian

POST 3Original post

Remove front left wheel and front inner wheel liner. In there will be a small cable with nipple on end. Pull that and it manually releases the bonnet. Whole thing takes 10 mins.

Thanks, will give all this a try

Taking the wheel off in an enclosed trailer would have been a nightmare!
