Internal Boot release
The boot release switch on my 75 has stopped working and just seems to be stuck. I can still open the boot with my key so no immediate problem.
Can anyone offer a solution please? |

Clean the contacts behind it and spray a bit of contact cleaner on them 😎

internal boot release
Hi Guys
My boot release when pressed just makes clicking noises. What is wrong and how do I fix it? Thanks for your help |

I guess it's not the switch making a noise and it's coming from the boot lid.
Sounds like the boot unit could do with a drop of lubrication as the solenoid appears to be working but something is sticking. Not too bad to get at.--- |

If it sounds like rapid machine gun fire then you need to unscrew the boot support rubbers out a bit - they are situated either side of the boot lid. |

Hi Mick Mike Noc is correct just wind the black stops out half a turn and this should cure your problem

Thanks Steve but that was Ray, the original poster. I was asking Mick Brownhill who posted later on and hasn't said whether his boot can be opened with the key. I await his reply with interest.
