Boot release

Gazmo65 · 4th December 2011, 18:47

Had a bit of a problem recently when pressing the boot release button as the lock seems to bang open and closed several times, when i go to lift the boot lid the boot is still locked so i stick the key in and turn it, it does the same but i can manage to get the boot open, i dont know what is causing this anyone got any ideas.

The bump stop rubbers either side of the boot are adjustable. Try winding them out a bit and that should cure it

Ahh the old whir clunk whir clunk whir clunk.
I bet most ZT/75 owners have heard that noise lol. i think when it starts to get colder the rubber must harden up a bit and not spring the boot open like it should.
Like mike says wind out the rubber stops a bit and it should be fine.
lift the boot lid gently as you turn the key and it should pop open.
