  1. I quite liked the article - basically true and a bit of a wry line at the end about yet another series of top Gear in a similar format....

    Boot wont open

    If the cable has stuck/broken you can often open it by putting your arm inside the wheel arch on the drivers side and pulling back the wheelarch and fishing for the cable and pulling it yourself. Failing that you can try getting someone to push down and sidewards on the boot as the handle is pulled. Failing that remove the numberplate and drill a hole and access the mechanism that way. Eliseparts.com also now do an electric boot opener. Never keep valuables in the boot as it is very easy to open it if you know what you are doing.
  5. Switch around the two 12v wires in the connector block. The permanent-live and the switched-live are the opposite way round on some radios.
