My FR2 was parked in my Garage tight against the wall and had gone to sleep !
Key entry is passenger side but the walls in the way. I usually leave the window open but had forgotten this time.

I don't want to break the glass and currently had to pad the wall with foam and jack the car up and drag across the garage


Has anyone had this problem/does it affect the RRS Confused Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Any chance you get under the car and reach the Starter motor terminals, if so connect battery charger or slave battery to the main terminal and the other lead to any earth point In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

unsurprisingly the car is not by design meant to flatten its battery over just a few weeks

check for shorts, or things being left on. Some people recommend setting the suspension to access mode in the mistaken belief this stops the computer waking up and adjusting itself. Again by design it shouldn't be doing this (unless parked on a ferry Whistle )

appreciate this doesn't help you get into the car in the current state - my advice would be to get another RRS owner to drag it out with a tow rope? Thumbs Up ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Op jacked up car and dragged it over to gain access - no easy feat with a bad back and ludicrous that he should have to do this Rolling Eyes

In the past he has left car connected to charger when not in use Sad Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
