Hi Guys

My boot is refusing to open from the button and the access that is in the book is not for the Chimps with the flat number plat....

I have a 95 Chimp with flat number plate can someone mail me chris@brnadymalone.net or call on 07734 259569 and let me know how to get in.

I have a dribble left of petrol and don't drive it anywhere.

Cheers

Chris

I presume you can get into the car??, if so either remove a speaker or vent depending which you have and put a long bar in and flick the lock across, have had to do it myself once when the solenoid packed up!!!!

Hi Guys

Thanks to anyone who replied...... or gave me a call.

I eventualy got in through the vents, turns out that the servo had gone and due to my lock being changed, I couldn't use the usual trick..... some one had fudged the locking mechanism. *I don't think much of my local TVR specialist*

Top respect to the AA though.... the mechanic that came out spent ages with a broom handle and a torch trying to get it unlocked through the vents <-- somehow I can't see this being a security risk, the whole street was out watching me try to break into the boot of my car.

I still do not know any way into the boot of a flat numberplate car. The clues in SH bible do apply to mine (April 94). Anybody got any ideas - please e-mail through profile.

People that don't know the "secret" ways to get into the boot should go along to a TVR meet with their car & talk to some other owners, as this isn't something you want to have to find out when you have run out of petrol.

On newer Chimaeras (Post 2000?) you need to drill a hole , so I hope I never need to
(Don't think I'm giving too much away here, as if you can drill holes, you can get into a plastic car pretty easily )
