Might nip down and have a look. Be worth it for spares. 

I have a receipt for the purchase in 2002. Its a LHD but was registered/imported to the uk in March 2002. Manufacture date was 2000. 

The buyer paid £27.500

Success!

Gave it one last go with the jump pack on the blade, pressed the boost on the jump pack and pressed the key fob for opening frunk and it opened. 

Thanks for all the suggestions

No, the cable is not there.

Do as I said above with a small piece of wire and you'll be in the frunk in a couple of minutes  

Even though I have the blade available?

Yes but the handles are on the central locking system annoyingly!!

I took the fuse panel cover off as I believe the cable was there but no such luck!

A topic that has been discussed many a time no doubt, here is the situation

Battery is dead: 2002 986s LHD

1. Connected battery pack to terminal in fuse panel - alarm goes off but switch doesn't operate bonnet or boot. No lights on dash

2. Connect charger to terminal in fuse panel, 2 types of charger used. CTEK: nothing happens. Connect 2nd older type charger, a lot of relay clicking and horn goes off but horn quite weak. No lights on dash

3. Remove wheel and wheel arch plastic, can't locate bonnet pull wire!

Would a higher capacity jump pack or charger be of any use and is there any value in charging through the cig lighter or OBD port

I don't think the CTEK has enough oomf for a dead battery, it struggled a bit last time but once older charger did its job the CTEK worked ok.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi Kenny,

Yes the existing screws had the heads all mashed up (and a couple were missing), so I got these from here : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M4-M5-M6-A2-STAINLESS-STEEL-TORX-COUNTERSUNK-MACHINE-SCREWS-SIX-LOBE-DIN-965/222414749205

Cheers,

👍🏻 Nice one! I have got one that ain’t coming out, not too fussed at the moment but its a grinder job if i need to change the disc.

Completed my brake overhaul/refurb. 

Very impressed with the paint and decals from BCS. 

Cheers

Where did you get the screws that hold the disc in place, much better than the phillips head screw.

Got to ask, why a hardtop in Spain

Haha, good point!! Soft top is damaged and needs replacing, lucky I have the hard top.

It does get cold here too!!

Liking those rims, what are they?

BBS Sport Classic 2 with the split rim painted. Bought them from a BoXa member. Might get them lacquered on the grey just to add a shine. 

New 18" wheels and a clean inside and out. Cracking day for it!
