My 2004 L322 Vogue overheated in France and arrived back in the UK (after 5 weeks in France) on Monday afternoon and was dropped off at the garage for me.

My garage currently cannot get into the car to charge the battery because the car is dead and the key will not work because the battery is so flat ?

Help !

If it's a 2004 model then the key should physically work in the drivers door...unless the linkage has become disconnected internally. Unfortunately it's a common problem that people only find out about when the battery goes flat.

If it has a Tow pack then it can be charged up or a supply attached via the electrical socket, otherwise it's a case of breaking in.

Not quite. There is a couple of other ways. One is to get a live feed to the starter motor 2010 Overfinch 3.6 V8 FFRR gone yee haa

Why go commando?? Even in the army we had reme and the op's post said it was at the garage. Sure they'll have an easy way of lifting it off the floor.

There is a rumour that by removing a side repeater there is a live feed there also. 2010 Overfinch 3.6 V8 FFRR gone yee haa

Mines on the drive and it's dark and wet, just brought back many memories. I didn't read that it was at a workshop, my bad. ______________________________

Clearly there's a good reason yours has gone flat in this case, however as a general rule, I think it's smart to change the battery at least every 3 y - there are so many reports of problems caused by low voltage, it seems to be to be fairly cheap preventative maintenance
