Will someone please tell me how to get into the boot once the electric switches have failed? I've just had both door switches (interior and exterior)and the boot opener fail on me. I'm guessing that they run off the same fuse but I don't know how to enter the boot the manual way.

Sorry don't know you or your car, so don't take this the wrong way, I don't want to give away details on entering a Cerb.
I'm assuming from your profile and location you probably use Andy at APM for your servicing etc, give him a ring in the morning he'll sort you out.

This question is appearing a lot and the same answer is given every time.

Does anyone else think it might be a good idea for all Cerb owners to practice getting into their car BEFORE they need to use the emergency procedure?

I did it shortly after getting the car and I have to admit it would not have been as easy to do it if I was stuck on the side of the street in the dark some night.


Basically, if you've tried it already and figured out what to do - well done.

If not - out you go and practice. byebye byebye

True, it's a bitch to get that rear screen rubber seal back on, but after a few goes I did it!

I'm well aware of what the 'crack' is...however I had the same problem once upon a time, if he sends me a landline...which is very easily checked then i dont see a problem in helping out a fellow owner...give me credit for a bit of nouse....albeit occasionally

Cooky et al, I've not managed to get in yet so I'm going to have another poke about this morning. I fully understand that the "secret" must be kept a secret.

Whereabouts in Hampshire are you? It might help finding someone local.

I had this problem with my 4.2. The fuse for the radio/cigar lighter also powered the doors & boot. Morale of the story is to pop the boot/door when working on the electrics.

Cooky, I got your message but I can't call you back as your phone bars anonymous calls (I'm on the work's phone). Anyway, the good news is I've managed to discover the secret now and have fixed the problem. I think "her-indoors" left the alarm on for two weeks while I was away so the immobiliser spat it's dumby out. The fuse looked fine anyway.

To all those who rightly wanted to keep "The Secret" a secret rest easy as my lips are sealed. Which is more than can be said of my car.... it's like a damn swimming pool!!!
