Has anyone swapped a boot over on an S?
Just wondering if anyone has swapped a boot lid over on their S for a replacement for any reason?
If you have can you post how long it took and how hard you found it? Was there much of a problem with the electrical components? Thanks :) |
Just the boot lid? I've done it 20/30 times .. I've a CF one too.
It's 4 bolts, a few clips and the metal springs. The light is 4/5 bolts .. and the lock is 2 or 3. 30min job if you take your time. It's so easy it's silly. Best get a mate to hold it while you do up the bolts though. |
:iagree: done it once
|
I've done it on a few cars; helps if you have four hands.
It only takes a while to get the panel fit perfect. |
Thanks for that!

Don't you have to watch out for the spring rods, can be a little naughty?
|
Leave those well alone! They can be nasty.

Just wanted to double check - any specialist tools required or strange size bolts? Looks like I've got a buyer and we're meeting half way just want to make sure I take the right tools.
Thanks |
nope .. a standard socket set will be enough.
