Boot Lock
Evenin' all Last year I got locked out of the boot. There was no problem with the actual lock it was just that the handle turned & didn't release the lock. After breaking in I discovered that the square spindle from the handle wasn't locating in the hole of the lock.Initially I thought that the ...

Re: Locked out of boot....DONT SWEAR OR YOU WILL BE BANNED!
Thanks everyone for your sage advice. I've had a few PMs letting me in on some possible ways in. I'll give it a go this weekend & let you all know.

Locked out of boot....DONT SWEAR OR YOU WILL BE BANNED!
Afternoon all! We we're at a very nice little vintage meet today at Camerton , Somerset (anyone else there?) when I unlocked the boot & turned the handle. There was a click & the handle just turned but didn't allow me to open the boot. The locking mechanism still works ok but I'm guessing so...

Wire size?
Evening all!
I need to replace the white wire which feeds the live side of the coil (from the fuse on the bulkhead). Anyone know what size this is? It looks about 1-1.5mm2 but I thought is should check first!

Re: Bah! Broken down!
You chaps are heroes. Condensor on order. I'll keep you posted. On another subject, anyone know how I swap my old & tatty locking petrol cap for my shiny new one? How do I get the old collar of the filler pipe. It seems to be fitted with 3 rivets whereas the new cast alloy one has one self tappi...
