Small problem actually big problem - Range Rover has gone completely flat think I left the light on forget that it doesn't have sensor, any way it's so flat it won't unlock but what's worse it that I tried the key in the drivers barrel and it won't work and I can't see a key hole on the boot lid or passenger side - any ideas how I can get in?

charge the battery through the towing socket if you've got one.

Failing that access the alternator or starter from under the car and attach to the +ve lead and charge. Current

Any idea which pin on the plug is?

Martin sells a brilliant connector lead. Look in the shop (next to wiki ).
He will know the PIN numbers. G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

or pull the side repeater out put a feed on the wing indicator to put enough power in the system

It is pin 4 in the towing socket with the white cap.

Am I likely to blow any delta or control units charging by pin 4 or indeed the side repeater? Guessing the side repeater goes through the LCD so assuming no go but the towing electronics is that safe on a trickle? I have a caravan socket and an adapter for standsrd

I leave mine connected overnight regularly

I always charge mine with the towing socket. Have a CTEK and the adapter from Martin, via the Disco forum.

Out of interest, if 4 is positive I take it you use 3 as earth then, not one somewhere else? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

The lead came ready made from Martin, but I assume it uses 3 for earth.
I have also bought a CTEK, this was just a convenient old photo.

if you have a single trailer socket with a Black cover to it, then it does not work

but double 7 pin sockets do - use the white cover socket for power on Pin 4

NB Please note that if you have ONLY a 12N socket (7 pins, BLACK cap) as shown in the 5th photo above it does not have the direct battery connection required - you CANNOT charge through this socket.
