United Kingdom 2002 Range Rover HSE Td6 Zermatt Silver
Door and Bonnet cable snapped (including me!)

I'm trying to sort out a problem with my canbus system, so thought I'd try a battery reset.
So I locked the car with the bonnet up, disconnected the battery and closed the bonnet, and left it like this on Tuesday.
The thinking was that'll give it two days to discharge.

But what I forgot was that my drivers door handle cable had snapped... Shocked

Today I realised I couldn't get in the car, the battery was diconnected, so no remote key access, the door lock cable had broke, so no physical key access, and with the bonnet closed, no access to the battery to reconnect to power up the locks, stumped... Confused

I managed to get the bonnet up eventually (without breaking anything) but was very worried for a couple of hours!

Never a dull moment with these L322's!! Laughing

2002 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver

seen this done a few times surprisingly, a trick is to use jump leads one on the back of the starter or alternator and other on a good chassis point
