A Couple R32 Problems

[jong]

hey guys, just got a couple of small things which i need to fix immediately, but just thought i'd get some advice on whether these problems are common or not and where is the best place to get these fixed if i can't do it myself

1) parking lights, and backlight of my dash, no longer work. happened at the same time so i think it's related. common problem? should i just go to auto-electrician?

2) my boot flies open sometimes on realli bumpy roads, i also found it very hard to close properly in the weeks leading up to this problem. i think the latch on it is worn out or sumthing or disfigured. common problem? where should i go to get this fixed cos it is quite annoying..and dangerous i think.

any help will be apprecieted. thanks guys!

For the 1st problem I would first cheak all the fuses before going to an auto elect, if it is a fuse blown then change it, if it blows again take it to an auto elect.

For the 2nd problem, sounds like the latch has moved, check the position of the latch which is on the car not the boot lid, there should be a bolt holding it in place, you can loosen the bolt and adjust the hook. The boot should close easily, this problem you can fix yourself.

Goodluck

hey mate thanks for ur help

i'll change the fuse tomorow

i just tried doing what u told me with the boot, but it still didn't work, i think the latch on the car wasn't the problem. i had a closer look at the latch on the actual boot and yeh, it looks pretty worn out, and the part the moves keeps jamming and i have to un-jam it with a key or sumthing..hard to explain. any ideas on where i can take it for sum1 to have a look?
