Sorry to ask about a problem so early on in my forum membership guys.
Just got my V8 ZT last week and went to start it today but the battery is flat. As it has electric boot release, I assume there is an alternative method of opening the boot when the battery is flat?
TIA
Either open the bonnet and connect a battery up to the terminals or lower the seat back and pull the internal boot release.

There should be a pull-rope in the boot on the O/S. Access via the rear back rest when dropped down.Quote:

thank you for the quick replies guys - will get right on to it
If you get your completed questionnaire back to Tim and get full access to the site Ian then you will find answers to most of the problems you may encounter.

Welcome along Ian. Watch the ICE system when connecting everything up again.
Thanks Nich - I emailed it to him this morning so shouldn't be long :-)Quote:
