Why can't I leave?

[C.A.R.]

Ah cool OK, so just a second hand key off of eBay or a breakers should do the trick? They'll just copy my key over?

After my third journey in the car I have a little list of to-do's...

1. Install the boot popper (bits are in the post...)
2. Sort out the passenger high-beam as it doesn't work
3. Sort out the clock / temp display illumination as it comes and goes...
4. Sort out the 'spaztastic' windscreen wipers. I'm pretty sure this is a case of cleaning the contacts?
5. Line the dashboard with something to stop the rattles
6. Dashboard lights, I may look into turning the whole illumination blue to match the boost gauge. One of the bulbs is a bit reluctant to come on sometimes...
7. Convert some of the lights to LEDs

Some stuff can wait, whereas the boot opening is kind of important. The last thing I want is a site visit and not be able to get my PPE out of the boot because it won't open. Lolz.

Anyone got a spare Haynes kicking about?

Why have you ordered a boot popper?

You already have one in the boot for the central locking which is no longer connected to anything as the lock has gone, why don't you just use that? Mine works perfectly!

Oh crap just read this.

Really? So I've wasted £8 already?! Bugger.
