@Kim, I guess the cigarette lighter option was what the AA used the last time.
@Cudzo, it may be the passenger door is fubar - I expected it to open mechanically from the inside. It’s entirely possible it’s broken, the owner isn’t very mechanically aware and rarely if ever carries a passenger- usually just the person who he is visiting in Romania when she comes on a return visit.
And yes, this being a car designed in Europe, the bonnet release is only accessible when opening the drivers passenger door.
