You probably need to contact a TVR Indy, demonstrate you have a TVR, they will then tell you how to get in. There is a specific way to do it.

Yes, I know the tricks - I managed to get the boot open , removed the back window, and managed to get into the driver’s seat and get the door opened, everything is pointing to a shot battery. Tomorrow I’ll get the car out of the garage, with some help, and jump start the car and get a new battery sorted 👍.

Glad you are in. I am always wary of telling folk how to get in.

I recon its the battery too, rather than jump starting I would try and find a charged battery and hook it up. Some cars with delicate electronics don't like being jump started (I am thinking of the Tuscan dash!) I didn't dare jumpstart mine, same with the Ferrari lots of horror stories

Good call, will go straight to a new battery, current one has been on the car for longer than I can remember, thanks.
