Folks,
Due to battery drain I fitted an automatic isolator which cuts in at 11.8v.
It’s now done this but the remote control isn’t working and the vehicle is locked.
Previously a local mechanic managed to pop the bonnet by removing the grill but I don’t know exactly what he did.
Any ideas?
TIA.

What exactly is isolated? And why 11.8? What is the objective?
You can charge up to 10A through the 13 pin trailer socket.
Can you not use the energy key blade in the front door?

As Kermie suggests, use the key blade to gain entry. Then pop the hood from the footwell, to access the battery.

Fitting a hidden but accessible manual isolator is one thing, but an automatic isolator on a car that relies on electronics?

Since the automatic isolator monitors battery voltage, it will most likely be adding to the battery drain.
