VP Calais Owners....

I need some help, can someone tell me if the inside of your boot lid is lined?? i think i got jipped the lining....
oh yeah and if someone could post a pic of their locking mechanism as seen from the inside of the boot that would be very handy.... i dont think mine has the right one on it....
I reckon i got a friday arvo boot, that they couldnt be bothered finishing, in 2 much of a hurry 2 make it 2 the pub....

Any help would be great,

Al

Well my electric boot release on the remote never worked (didn't think anyone else would have the same problem), of course the one remote I got with the car was a bit broken, and has actually stopped working now. The one in my glovebox works fine, on the odd occasion I have to press it a couple of times but apart from that shes all good.

i would say the mechaism that opens the boot release is stuffed. if you look where the lock is you should see a greyish coloured box. thats probally your problem. i will see if i can get a picture of it tomorrow for ya. but yeah my boot release didnt work so i replaced that and now it works everytime.

well i have had no dramas with my remote boot working but it can be a pain getting it to work from the remote? what i normally do is wave the remote around to get it to work.

hmm ok, ive had a look and cant see any grey box?? if you have a chance to take a pic and post it up that would be great, i had a thought last night that the boot may have been replaced a while ago with an exec boot and hence no elec boot release, if thats the case might have 2 have a hunt around and find one... bugger..
