Anyone experienced their boot not latching first time? Mines just started Un-latching itself when trying to close it, see vid. Sometime it closes, other times it closes and then pops open.
Ye gave it a spray tonight, couldn’t find the straw end to get it right into the latch but didn’t seem to help fix it
theres different part numbers for the mk2 and the mk3, but they both fit, couldn't see any difference in them
With boot open you can replicate the latching action with screwdriver blade maybe give better idea what’s up
Does it still lock ? I had a similar issue when I bought my 225 and the dealer sorted it, mine would sometimes close sometimes not, but would never lock. The car took them two days to find the fault and rewire around some "computer" in the passenger compartment - cost me nothing but I'm sure if you had to pay the electrician and fitter to sort things it would be quite a bill
You can pop it out and will be able to see, Easy and cheap fix is to clean the contacts up if they are corroded then apply some Vaseline over them to stop the water getting to them
Seems it was water in the switch. I broke the tiny metal contact trying to dry it out, luckily it’s only £15 off RPD. Hopefully that sorts it
