Tailgate solenoid

[Coppen]

I've flushed me boot and wired it all up.

The solenoid pops the boot but as known, it catches and doesn't fully release. I realise a bit of the catch has to be cut off (see original thread)

flush tailgate question

The pics here r of a different lock.

Anybody got a pic or know how much to cut of a 95 Astra lock cause i don't want to mess it up now it is 98% complete.

Cheers

oh and if anyone else is thinkin of gettin a solenoid from a feista dont bother!! there exactley the same as the vaux central lockin 1's that can b bought 4 a fiver, the only difference is that the fiesta ones hav a spring under the rubber cover to pop it back, which u can do!! and will save you bout £20, sly ford f'ckers!!! i onlu found that out after i bought the ford 1
