Battery charger to alternator? Or is that an old wives tale?

How do you get to that with the bonnet down ? I 've heard of power to the starter before now but not to sure how to do that.

There is another way it can be done that will open the door locks but if I post it we will have loads of people stealing from others cars
Most locksmiths will know how to open these by adding battery power if he has a broken lock and remote
So maybe worth him calling out one

Yes I think so, I asked him to try another key to ensure its not the remote
