does anybody out there know how to open the boot in an emergency. its sunny out there and the bot wont open so i cant take the roof off. The bible just says "using a screw driver or suitable implement" but i tried this and cant feel anything. Help!

Take a sharp RH corner at speed then stop and try it. Whatever is in the boot wedged against the strut (roof panels?) will hopefully have moved to the left and it will ten pop open.

"I got the new one from www.mod-wise.co.uk tel. 01793 770730 and they told me TVR only ever used one type so it should be right. It cost a total of £8.99 inc post, so a bargain really."
