had a little mishap whoops don't laugh too much

So decided to send pauls mgf a boot grommet fine? So I got a bit giddy and took some bits off including the boot cable that activates the lock then shut the boot. A similar situation to my tf mishap. Where's me key where's me phone?



Hmm so now I have a dilemma do I sacrifice a part or think eff it and grind the boot off its hinges.


Oh dear what a situation either way I'm only going to loose my pride I could even try that treffen method

Any ideas? And feel free to mock I would if it was one of you lot meheheheheheheheheheheheh

Back light out, I am sure you have a spare somewhere :hugs:

oops now i feel guilty NOT
stick a wire coat hanger up through the removed grommet and catch the release cable to open the boot simples :spank:

ps love the vid

It's a 'No' from me. :lol:

Where's my halfords pro ratchet spanners where me long nose pliers ha ha ha

I loosened the 8mm nuts a bit o I reckon using that treffon thing I could get it out all my air filter is out or I could wait until next weekend and then exhaust is coming off and then there sill be a bit more room in the engine bay

Is there some idiot badge on here? I could do with wearing it for a while.

When they do it, it is mine :yesnod:

As soon as you get the boot open have another key made!

Enjoy! :slapme:

Never mind Ben at least you keep us all amused with your antic's on these rainy day's keep up the good work lol :bust:

Its the car I'm breaking so not bothered about it really. My TF is OK and drives me to work and back

Even a key wouldn't help me though as the cable isn't connected to the lock.

Heres my plan.....

Cut the lock out by cutting two big grooves either side of the MG logo or at the lip of the boot where the spolier is just cut a new more streamline shorter boot there instead.





Good job its not the TF or I'd have been in a ginger rage.

:bang:
