Boot Release Solenoid

[philchapman66]

I have the same problem that dicktheleg had in April (and I guess many others have had). I can't open the boot! It happened suddenly - e.g. no gradual deterioration. I have checked the fuses and the switch itself, all seems fine, so I guess it's the solenoid. However, how do I open the boot to check it? Can someone please message me?

Many thanks in advance...

With a single post to your name I would say your best bet is to go to whoever is going to be looking after the car for you or you bought it from and ask them.

Thanks Ribol, I completely understand where you are coming from. To try and explain, I'm a very long time lurker who registered specifically to ask this question. By referring to the identical post last April I had hoped to demonstrate that I wasn't asking a question that I hadn't bothered to at least do some preliminary research. Also by asking that I be messaged, someone could at least do some due diligence to check out that I did in fact own the car (a car I have owned for 12 years now and have covered 70K pretty much trouble free miles in).

Also by way of servicing background, I took the car out of TVR or independant servicing some years ago, partly because there isn't anyone within 50 miles of me and partly because the one I had tried couldn't even fit the HT leads back securely resulting in a "hard shoulder, bonnet up" incident tracking down the problem. Oh the shame (but I digress). Anyway, a local garage (and time served race mechanic) now does the servicing, but I haven't asked him if he knows about the idiosynchracies (sp?) of remote boot opening yet....

Does anyone feel inclined to help me???

I'm not saying that the OP isn't a genuine owner BUT please be careful supplying emergency entry information on a public forum, not everybody who reads or requests information on these forums does so for a honest reason.

If you don't know the Original Poster (OP) then my suggestion would be DON'T SUPPLY THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION.

Sorry OP no offence meant to you, even with the tools available to me as a moderator I personally would not have supplied the requested information in this instance.
