hi all
when i close my boot it doesn't click shut and can be opened again without pressing the button. i at first thought it was the lock worn out but when i press the button nothing happens no noise like it used to make. i would just like to know if there as a relay on it and which fuse it is on?
any help would be appreciated
thanks

Just had a prob with this, couldn't close it for love or money & didn't want to risk slamming damage. Loosened the two bolts holding the clip in place on the inside of the boot lid and dropped it down a fraction, re-tightening the bolts. All sorted.

Could be that your solenoid has stopped working.I had one go on my last Griff,new part wasn't very expensive and took minutes to fit,just peel back the boot carpet below the lock to locate it.

Big Albie I hate to be the one to break this to you but you are in fact a car, not a human being. Good news however is you're a TVR Griffith in Ocean Haze with Chimaera 5 spoke wheels. And you've got two dirty great big tailpipes - lucky boy.
