Can't get into car
Hello.
Need some help/advise please.
Basically the Megane has been sitting on our drive for a couple of weeks after purchasing a new car.
The problem lies with the fact that the battery has died and we can't get into the car.
Easy you think, open the pessenger side using the key.....well.....the passenger door is right up against the wall, and i mean right up against the wall. I can basically only open the door about an inch or two!
What can i do??
Is there any way of getting into the boot?
Is there any way of popping the bonnet so i can charge the battery?
Help!!

Just an update.......it's sorted.
I forgot i left the handbrake off, however i did leave it in gear so i couldn't push it anyway.
Well, it could have been pushed but i would have needed a couple of people to help. Plus the wheels where pointing in such a way that if the car was pushed too far it would have went strait into the wall
So, in the end (i owe Jonault a beer for the idea) I managed to jack most of the front up on a trolley jack while my neighbour pushed from behind and i lifted the passenger side wheel area to stop it dragging. We managed to drag it just far enough away from the wall to be able to open the door and pop the bonnet......result!!!
Cheers for the help/idea guys
***Why do Renault put the manual lock on the passenger side???***
