  1. Please could someone help. My X5 battery is completely dead, tried jump starting but nothing, theres a huge LPG tank in my boot which makes changing the battery a pain in the !Removed!. Problem is I shut the boot lid and cannot get it back open. Is there a manual way to open the boot without the key? I have child locks on the back door also so I can't even open them. I somehow need to get the boot open because its the only way I can get to the battery to replace it. Climbing over the back seats to try and get to the LPG tank up on its side is another option but I really don't know how we will manage to do that because its so heavy, rather try and open the boot manually if its possible.. pleaseee help! Just found a manual release in the handbook but the handle that your supposed to pull has been ripped out and is not there :/
