Thanks for the info Lyndon.....no its not still under warranty as it ran out in May

Hope they don't take long to fix the problem.......better take the plastic with me. Can't believe they charge such an extortionate amount per hour!!!! :rolleyes:

Ha Ha!

I'll try, but I don't think that will persuade the monkeys to give me a price reduction!!

Hi - I've just fixed this problem myself

The boot latch on mine had come loose and was very easy to mend - all you need is a friendly passenger and a small spanner !

Get your passenger to watch the centre display as you drive over a bump, and see if a car picture appears briefly when the beep sounds. If so, then see if any part of the car picture is "filled in" - this is the clue to where the problem is.

If you suspect the boot area, open the boot and inspect the latch on the car body ( not the bit on the boot lid itself )

Try moving it firmly with your hand - if it moves at all, then you've found the problem !

To fix, simply tighten up the bolts on either side.

There may also be some evidence of wear or rubbing on the parts.

Rgds,

Hi JMCB

I did what you suggested and I found my boot latch was loose and one of the bolts was nearly coming off. I tightened this and 'eureka' the problem is gone. I say "a problem shared, a problem halved, or in my case a problem solved. Thanks a lot.

Hi Ron

Thanks for your warm welcome.
