As above, I have had this before, is broken wires in the harness where the boot pivots down, relatively common.

I’m sorry but to question 3 I wouldn’t of been able to help myself with replying “you looked in it”

I do a fair bit of diy and Screwfix and Toolstation sites mention a lot of good reviews on Titan products. Both sites do provide comprehensive reviews on various products - always read the reviews and some of the negative reviews too!

Casper are you local to Glasgow? If so give me a pm

Tinted glass isn’t part of an MOT as testers aren’t provided with a light meter to test them.

Good God that version of Blowing in the wind is awful! On the AT side of things I’m curious do you currently fill in the service history section? I’ve never used it before and just listed the service history details within my description text but maybe I’m missing a trick?

Thank you will do. Love cars that have a lot of online support.... Its a common issue and some chappie said its a broken wire(s) in the boot loom. And there it was... Now i need some 50p insulation tape Another chap posted jaguar quoted him £49.95 for key programming in 2013 that was... Dont think I will get lucky twice

Eric Cantona Seagul ramble, so only read if v bored: I’m not that old (47), but I have always liked the music of Bob Dylan. I wasn’t around for when he defected to electric (my dad was there -so he always said), but, I’ve always liked his recordings and so on over the last 40 odd years. Last year, my Mrs bought us tickets to his show at The Bournemouth International Centre near us. They were an extortionate price, but I thought, oh well, it’s Dylan. Will be a good show and he's the man.... Anyway, the day comes and it’s packed outside etc. He’s obviously raking it in still! Never mind the queues and the extortionate prices for the drinks in a plastic cup and the bottles with no lids:It’s Dylan. Worth the money and you get what you pay for... Anyway, after the first opening bars (musical) I realise I’m a sheep and been duped. It’s utter crap and tuneless noise. Never mind that I can’t recognise the song that I think he said was blowing in the wind. Must be a new jazzed up better ‘all bells and whistles’ version that I’m not getting. Maybe the next song will be better. It wasn't. Utter taking the piss, over complicated drivel. He was literally laughing all the way to the bank without a care to us, the audience. Almost as if WE actually weren’t his customers or he at least didn’t give a damn. We were not near the front in the ‘even more pricey’ seats. The people that were there seemed oblivious to it and were clapping and going along with it. They would clearly pay double and not moan or wake up From a bit of a distance, everyone else, it was clear, had realised also the emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes. It’s all I could do to sit through it. As we left, a busker outside was singing early Dylan stuff. It was brilliant. I gave him a couple of quid, as did others.... Of course this is my side of the story. The people in the front row singing, will disagree and say it was worth the money and more, as he is ‘the best’. One of us is wrong of course. It might be me....

Chipstick, about as much use as a dog’s lipstick.

Try ultimate compound, especially as your new to machine polishing. Doing a full detail is a long long process. I've spent 16hrs doing a valet. Ultimate compound saves time as you don't have to go over it with polish, the compound breaks down in to smaller less aggressive particles and polishes while it's worked. M105 will cut more but you'll need to follow with m205 to polish. As a beginner ultimate compound is ideal! use a medium pad. Claying is something I try my best to avoid..it's a horrible time consuming job. Petrol and a microfiber is far quicker , white spirit even better but depends on car/paint condition and youbdon't want to leave it on the paint longer than necessary..keep the hose nearby. VonHaus DA polisher is good value for money and comes with red pad for removal of scratches, yellow for swirl marks and a black pad for polishing. Huge money in detailing products IMO most are unnecessary...

I usually get called Tim so Tony is a new one They did called a chipstick but it was crap, looked like lipstick.

You must get a smart repair man Tradegirl for the small paint job bits, one of the best things I ever did, he can do a job in 1 or 2 hours that the paint shop would need the car for a week to do, but mopping and buffing I do myself.
