Thanks Shaun,Thats handy as my husband runs a two mk2 Orions so he should be able to source the parts easily enough,do you know where abouts in the boot we will find where to plug it all in or will it be in a similar place to the Orion if so he can look at one of his to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 so how are the wires ment to go to the lock from the loom as the boot is just hinged and not like a hatchback, they gotta run into the boot somehow, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dave29 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) fair enough lol, just ive never seen it on a mk4 cab, and never seen anywhre where a motor in the bootlid could go i fitted a solenoid in the bootlid in my mk3 but never got round to putting in the live feed for it.one of my many jobs lol. i also had to weld a small 10mm nut to the lock mech to take the rod from the solenoid.
