my boot

The lock is stuck solid

I have drowned the lock in wd40 and tried bangin the lock but alas it still wont budge. The lock defo unlocks with the central locking but there is no play in the button.

any suggestions

 

Stuck in or out.

if out just smack with a rubber mallet

 

APMSL

 

LOL fook that

 

tried wacking it with me hand but i am flexing the boot lid far to much. Don't fancy hitting it with a mallet, but then i do need to get into the boot.

just gotta try and find a rubber mallet now

 

SHED

 

What reg is you saff have you got the big nob or small nob

The big nobs allways get stuck in the winter.

 

johny is right if its the big nob smack it with a rubber mallet me personaly would use any hammer but thats cus im impatient

 

WD40 round the outside of the button?

 

if ya still cant get in use a crow bar

 

heat it with a blow torch then hit it with a hammer

 

can you get to the lock from the inside? isnt it just a case of popping the lever? and then it should release and open? cant remember my old saff lock tho so that may all be wrong

 

it's a G reg saph. So I assume it's the big nob

I have drowned the lock in the WD40. Gonna let it soak for a while then give it a big smack in the morning . Hopefully thats gonna work.

 

if that dont work max remove ya rear parcel shelf ya got and stick ya hand in the hole to open the rear seat and then climb in


belive it or not i actually fitted in the boot of me cabrio to climb through and unlock me doors as its delocked , thats a shit load harder to do


oh and just give it a firm push mate, my was stiff and opened but then yours has prob rusted in due to all the water ya use on it due to washing it too much,

hence why i aint got that issue

 

I would remove the rear parcel shelf bit but unfortunalty it happens to be bolted down in the boot



How the fook did ya fit in the boot


True but I can't drive a car thats as dirty as yours

 

Well I finally got into the boot

One big rubber mallet and a few heafty swings with it the boot opened

But now I need a new boot lock. This one got kinda mangled in the process . At least the button moves now even though is does fook all else.

If i order a new lock from fords will they

A) Rob me blind
B) Supply the wrong lock
or hopefully
C) Supply a lock that matches my current key and not empty my bank account
(I can dream can't I)

 

why not delock the boot , cheeper , oh and why not use the bot as normal as the central locking thing should be the same , dont need a key for my boot

trip to scrappys and ya sorted, remove te spoiler whilt ya there

 

I don't really want to delock the boot

Yer the central locking does unlock the boot but the pushin part of the lock don't actually open the boot

AND NO. I AM NOT GONNA REMOVE MY SPOILER

 

see if ya had a light spoiler say a normal saphy one the boot wont have forced the lock to jam , ya ever thought about that


just get a normal lock from a breakers and wait for a full lock set of scotty


just pay all ya wages into scots bank like i do

 

lol yer. I have brought quite a few bits off him recently
