    Quick question.

    My bro in law in very short wisdom removed the battery yesterday to stop his aunt from driving it - all doors are locked and battery not in same house.

    I know I can get in the passenger door, and that all of the doors will deadlocked.
    Can I access the boot from inside the car? Enough to get a few items out.

    If not, I'll have to take my jumpack as I can't be arsed with fitting the battery and then removing it.
    She's not allowed to drive as of yesterday and we can't trust her not attempting to - I even rung the dealer and I formed them in case she tries to buy a new key and battery

  3. Does the back seat not fold down?

    Don't know yet. I'm going up tomorrow morning whilst aunt is getting her hair done
     
  5. Fuse box will have a power point to take 12v in to power the systems, I would imagine.
     
  6. If the back seats don’t fold down you could put 12 volts to the car via the fag lighter socket
    This should enable you to open the boot
    You may need the key in the ignition and turned to accessories

    If she is not allowed to drive them she will not be insured, cant you explain it that way?

    French electrics. Proceed with caution!
     
  9. Could he not just lock his aunt in the boot, then remove the battery? Sorted!

    All sorted. Just out at the shops and the person a few cars up in the carpark has a Captur and I've asked them, and you can get in from the rear seats.

    I’d loved to have seen their face if you’d told them the story you’ve told here….written down it sounds reasonable but some random approaching me in a car set banging on about mad aunts….
