These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

Hey all, My car has arrived with a flat battery and need to give the importer instruction how to open the bonnet to charge it. Anyone?

It's in the manual, need to open the cover on the drivers footwell and use jumper cables in a weird way from memory. If you need me to dig out the manual I can?

Looking at the manual: when they talk about the fuse box "Pull off the plastic cover ...... The Fuse Plan and instructions for emergency unlocking of luggage compartment lid can be found on the inner side of the cover"
