Just picked it up. They replaced the section of the boot they cut away by buying a complete used boot for 90 euros, 115 euros to spray it, 4 hours labour total cost 475 Euros.......boot will be eternally unlocked unless we buy a new key for 120 euros....

Hi All, Quick update. The Garage had to remove the number plate and cut around the lock which had failed. They had tried drilling small holes to get at it and drilling out the lock. They are now seeking out a used lock at the brakers and will fit it and make good the damage, guessing it will be a fe...

Thank you for that link, looks great but the boot is full of shopping. We took it to the garage that fitted the plates, they kept it all morning and said that they think something is stuck in there which is very possible as Sonia thinks she may have shut the boot on something...its on route now to t...

Thank you, just been out there wiggling but no joy. I am wondering if one of the bags or boxes have been trapped or knocked something. WE HAD THE NUMBER PLATES CHANGED YESTERDAY could that have done something?

Hi All Please help, I just got back from the weekly shop. The roof is up, all the weekly shop in the boot but the boot will not open. I can put the key in and it moves from side to side but does not open. We all ways have used the key to open the boot....please help lots of perishable stuff in the b...

Hi All The part arrived the day after my last post. The Garage could only take the car the following Tuesday. I took the car and showed him the peice. I explained the roof should work when the window was fixed, after 2 days of silence I called and turns out that the apprentice dropped the window and...

Thank you Ian, she is under a tarp at the moment, I found the repair kit on Amazon and the seller has kindly sped up the delivery so it should be here by tomorrow, 20 euros including delivery. When I have the peice I am going to the garage...I tried the holding the window button down and ignition to...

Thank you Ian, I have looked at your link, I do not have the original allum key *in old post no wheel nut key either! I do have one that seems to fit but the first stage loosening the hydraulics its seems very stiff so i do not want to apply force and the second part to lower the parcel shelf seems ...

quick extra question is there a way to close the roof manually without damaging the car?

Hi All Since we had the car the rear passenger window did not work, the motor made a noise as if the window was trying to close or open, it would then stop and correctly put all the other windows up or down in sequence and the roof worked fine. When the roof is down we could manually either push the...

Hi

I just had new lamps fitted here in France ready for the Mot next week. I bought mine on Amazon, they cost about 50 euros each brand new. Amazon delivered in about ,4 days. They make the car look great. The mechanic fitted them I believe it's a straight swap....

Hi Ian Earlier all the advice was to get the codes read. The mechanic says the codes say pump problem. If it is a pump problem would the light stay on continually. If so the fact the light comes off and on would prove the code was wrong?? I am going to the mechanic tomorrow but it's hard saying that...

Thanks is Ian apparently it had A bramd new battery the week before I bought it. I am going to tell the mechanic your advise he said the diagnostic said it was the abs pump but it is not a garage I know really well. The light is back on again.....I really hope it is just the battery.

Hi All In another post I asked about ABS warning light. The garage diagnosis is that the pump is faulty. Cost to repair approx 400euros using a second hand pump. Thing is that the light has now been off for the last few days so it seems like is working sometimes...is this possible, is there a chance...
