boot question...

mmmm here goes, please excuse my ignorance…

every now and again the boot wont shut properly, making me tighten the part with the spring type fixture on it.( told you how bad i was)…i presume its the part that locks the boot…

is this a common problem. can anyone give me the exact part so i can order another one. or should i just live with it…but with my ocd, i would sooner replace said part, if only i knew what it was called…marcus did tell me it needed tightening every now and again.

hope you can help. as said its not major just a bit of a pain…i hope you know what im on about…

thanks folks.

Mine does the same as has a habit of self opening!!

Scatty - sounds like you need to get hold of an electronic version of the parts manual for your car. Not sure I have seen one doing the rounds as per the various manuals for the S1 but if one exists I’m sure someone will post a link or pm you :wink:

Might be best having a look around that his website it is the best thing for finding lotus part numbers
