i have got one on my corsa C alot easier than i thought, i wont be able to get pics until the weekend, if your interested U2U me :)

i wil have a look this afternoon and c wot i can come up with, i have to come up with sumthin that will pull the locking mechanism down to release it, this is really Pissin me off cos i want to get started on smothin the boot lol

you will have to make a linkage, get 2 rods attch one to the solenoid and one to the lock, make a linkage between them so when the rod from the solenoid pushes down it pushes the rod on the lock up,

dont have a central lockin motor m2rv h, i have had a look at the exsisting lockin mechanism on the corsa and the releasing handle which is where u attach the solenoid is one where it needs to be pulled down but u cant attach the solenoid kit lower than the locking mechanism cos the mechanism is the lowest thing on the boot

use a central locking motor

Its not easy mate... I ended up grinding off the safety release tooth on the lock so it only locked in 1 position, so when it was popped it stayed popped. I got mine of corsacentre.co.uk and it was shit quality. It was a pull 1 so i mounted it to the left as you look at it and bolted a piece of metal to the top part of the lock so that it wasnt as hard to pull but it had to pull further, it took ages to do there was easier ways but the solenoid didnt have the strength to pop the boot when it was shut with these. Hope that makes sense!!

got ya u2u matey, i havnt fitted a solenoid yet, and by the sounds of it it sounds like a night mare, carnt ya just use the existing one off the corsa? the one that locks the tailgate

who else has used a nova lockin system or have u all just kept the corsa one?

the corsa boot opens with the latch being pushed, not pulled, as the solenoid does. the easyiest way ive found is to change the latch to one from a nova. exactly the ame but works on being pulled not pushed

can any1 who has had one fitted take the panel off which hides the wiring in the boot and take a picture of how there solenoid is fitted because im confused!!!!!
on the lockin mechanism there is a handle which needs to be pressed down but the only way the solenoid will pull it down is if its below the locking mechanism but nothin can go below that??????????????????????????

i would also like to know how to fit them

solenoid kit? iv got the one of autoeurope.co.uk

ur not the only 1 what type have u got?

can any1 put a picture up of how u have set the solenoid kit to the locking mechanism on the boot, im just gettin a bit confused with it at min
