Resets the electrics. The system can get confussed if you open and close certain things whilst some bits are locked/open etc.

Nothing to lose apart from having to reset the clock!

OK...

Issue 3: The boot won't now open. It was fine then now won't open. On the new Astra they have a solenoid kind of boot pop so when you push it the boot opens. Its now dead and doesn't do anything. I have no button on the fob to open the boot or inside the car.

Any other way of opening the boot?

As I mentioned a few weeks back I bought myself an Astra SRI 1.9 150PS CDTI with XP which is in excellent condition.

Gave it a wash for the first time this morning and come across a couple of little issues. In fact they're hardly issues I'm probably being too much of a perfectionst as I didn't buy it brand new, its a couple of years old.

Issue 1: A small section of the passenger sideskirt has come away from the bodywork. Its only come away say a quarter of a CM but now I have seen it I want to bond it back on. What's the best product to use? Will not even be taking the whole sideskirt off will just be bonding a 2 inch long section.

Issue 2: I have noticed a couple of light scratches here and there. Nothing major that won't go with a decent polish. What's the best polish to use on silver lightening paint?

Danke
