Look in the manual. You can jump start it from the fuse box, by the drivers door.

What a pain that is - good luck with that.

Trickle feed is you only answer long term, but get into the bonnet with a coat hanger under the near side rear light. Once opened then attatch leads to a positive point on the right and earth it to the latch.

Mate's bro had a similar problem with a Boxster S a few years back, he tried the cig lighter thing left it on for several hours and still nothing. I can only presume it's because the lighter is only powered when the ignition is on, but when the battery is dead the relay won't energise even if you do switch the ignition on so it stays disconnected.

Whatever happened to good-old mechanical linkages?

Only late 996's have the ability to be charged through the *** lighter
