I'm having a few problems with some of the electrics on my 4l Chimaera. Any suggestions welcome.

Firstly the boot release button has intermitently stopped working. Bit annoying when I get to work and go to take my laptop out of the boot and it won't open for half an hour!

Next to go was the clock which now gets stuck at 5 every morning and evening!

Now more worryingly this week the speedometer hasn't started working for the first 5 minutes of my journeys. I have 3 speed cameras in the first 3 miles of my house so this is a little risky. The speedo does kick in after a short time though!

Any help gratefully received!!

Thanks
Andy

My Chim boot release solenoid needed a few stabs at the button to get it open. A new solenoid easy fit for dealer. No idea on clock. Speedo; the sensor may be dirty, not adjusted just right again easy for dealer, if its due to go in for any other work.

Thanks for that! Will look into a new solonoid for the boot as it is a pain in the backside!!
