    R170 boot lock

    I have literally emptied tins of WD40 in and outside all the visible parts, with a straw, but that key just wont turn. After what you said about the key snapping, I am being extremely gentle with it. Speaking of keys, can I buy a used RC FOB from ebay, and have it reprogrammed for my car? I...

    R170 boot lock

    Not sure how much damage, the previous owner had never used the key, so it's well and truly seized, either way there is some movement, which can't be bad. the key still does not turn, so I'm going to ignore that for now, but with the boot open, I can now manually push the lock lever towards...

    R170 boot lock

    Dec, thank you for the thank you, but its undeserved as this is all your handiwork, is it the done thing to give a thank you/response or a big massive thank you at the end once the problem is solved? And whats the difference between a 'like' and 'thanks'. Sorry slightly off topic.

    R170 boot lock

    Not that lock, this seems to work fine. From what I can tell, the facelift boot lock is removed via 2 screws under the boot lid handle, which has to be removed first, it's this which is stuck fast. It's all a bit tricky as its in an area that you can't attack with heavy tools. Something...

    R170 Fuel flap lock

    Small development with this in that the flap locks if I press the remote 4 times, the pin moves a little bit at a time, but all the way when unlocking, what does that suggest, not enough pressure to "blow" so a vacuum issue? Lastly, there is a fluid level indicator on the pump (inside boot...

    R170 boot lock

    Tried massaging, gentle persuasion, gentle force, copious amounts of lube and hypnotism but it just won't move. Yellow pipe sucks air, as everything moves about 2mm when the remote is activated, but that aluminium lock barrel with nipple at the end, just won't budge. On a positive note, the key...

    Is it not the done thing to pimp an R170?

    There was a moment of doubt when I thought he ballsed it up :D The Aston Martin GT racer was pretty impressive too.

    Is it not the done thing to pimp an R170?

    Dont get me wrong, he is the ultimate BarryBoy, he gets to play with some exquisite cars, his hobby is his job and respect to that I say. If you haven't seen Supercar Megabuild, very entertaining, his two 'apprentices' are hilarious.
