Hi guys, what parts are needed to do this and have a pop switch inside the car, i vaguely remember it involved a fiesta bootlock (which one) and a piece of wire coathanger bent into a certain shape.....

Could someone please clarify and add pics if possible and ill love ya forever

Also whats the best way to get the wiring through the roof lining and down the inside off the bootlid as i want it to look factory

I did this to my esc cab years ago, i totally de-locked the bootlid (blanked it off) & used a boot release from a xr2i. It's just fookin awkward to explain it thou!

kay2

there were a load of pics up on RSOC BB but they got lost when they redid the Board, surely someone must have pics, please help, slurp slurp

M.A.D.RST

Just buy a solenoid thingy which sits behind where the boot release is or would have been and then run the wire into the boot and under the carpet. Thats what ive done to mine and you cant see none of it.

just wait till your alarm or central locking goes tits up, its fun then

kay2

So despite all the people on this board with flushed boots, no one knows how to do this

Oranoco

I want to do this to mine as well so I'm interested in this

swerv

i would never do this as the amount of times ive had to get through the boot is unreal

kay2

just slim gym the door if my alarm fecks up

Physio

It's quite easy to do but it's just awkward to try & explain

Oranoco

My alarm fucked up on me and I found out after 9 years that the key I have don't fit the boot lock.

A claw hammer seemed to get me into the car ok though Made me feel a bit better as well. How comes smashing stuff when you're in a mood is really relaxing?

Physio

Oronoco put down the claw hammer & step away from the car

and to be honest i cant see why i would need to get in the boot if it did fuck up, bar my sub nothin ever gos in there.....But I would have a switch inside the car so why would the alarm breaking ever matter, my doors are delocked but its easy enough to get in, just slim gym the door or smash a window, there only about 8quid from the scrappy

when i had my escort years ago i delocked the boot...

welded a few plates from the inside....and used a solenoid, switch and wiring from a MK3 Orion (cost a fiver)

u have to make a small bracket (not a hard job) to hold the solenoid but it ain't hard i did it! pmsl

my main concern was some1 putting a screw driver through the weld so i welded it well

escortmad79

I'm having fun with mine at the moment, cos my S2 has been stood for the past 4 weeks, the battery has been completely drained by the alarm & immobiliser.

Car is delocked all around & now I can't get into the fookin thing, gonna have to break into my own car!!!

Stu.H

u can come and do mine then

Physio

No probs Stu, let me know when you want it done mate

Stu.H

can i take the evo to the jetwash while u do it?

Physio

Sorry Stu, it's handwash only on the evo, you can do that if you like

Stu.H

dont like people watching me wash cars so i will have to take it elsewhere

Physio

PMSL @ the reason!

Stu.H

me too

cheers for the help lads, Stu pop over to mine while hes delocking yours and tell me how he does it, and ill help you wash (all the mud off ) the evo
