On replacing my boot lid the best the paint shop could manage with the boot lock (transferred from the old lid) was having it in the 'locked ' position. It could be jiggled open with the key, but wouldn't fully pop out into the unlocked position and the lid would therefore be automatically locked when you closed it. I couldn't do with this, as it was just begging to break the precious plastic fob of the key.

I've taken off the lock and catch but can only re fit it in the unlocked position. If you try to lock it (fortunately I tried it with the lid open!) the cam of the lock turns off the back of the catch lever and won't re-engage in front of it by turning the key as required. It used to do this with a click after a small bit of resistance.

Is something missing? I only have the catch and the lock mechanism.

No, mine is still un-lockable in preference to breaking my key. Strange that no one else has come across/solved this issue. Over 1000 views of this post, so it isn't being ignored.

I've tried the lock both ways up and fitting it locked.

Yeah we have two locks and both same. Dont think we are missing anything but can't seem to work out how they work. Same as u if we lock can't unlock again.

What is it we are missing???

Dom

I think we can assume by now that we are the only ones on here who have come upon this issue. When I next bump into Chris Bastow (ex Betacars) I'll ask him. He's the only person off the Forum I can think of who might know.

I've copied our post onto the LMC Forum too.

Cool thanks for response. We have done a work around by putting a bolt in side to ensure lock doesn't spin back too far. Obviously not correct and  stock but only way we could see it would work. Must be missing something but not sure what..........

So you can actually lock the boot with this modification?
