Boot latch
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 2:29 pm
For a while now, whilst driving I get the door light flicking on and off, and the interior light flicking at the same time. So I check the boot out, and it has popped up slighty. Push it down, keep going, and its fine till I hit a bump or something.
Basically, the boot latch seems to be fubar. I can actually slam the boot down, and pull it up again, without it fully locking ot latching.
I've taken the latch part off the boot itself, and if I pretend I'm the boot, I can get it to lock on tight. Bolt it back on, and it won't lock on tight.
Any ideas as to whats wrong? I've played around with it for a few hours with no luck. Is it possible to buy a new one (if this one is screwed?). Or do I need to track one down from a wrecker?
Thanks
