Hi Guys and Gals,

I'm flushing my corsas boot, and I was wondering if it is possible to open the boot with a cable, just like the fiat punto do.

I calculated that the cable should be about 3 meters long but I couldnt find such a long cable. I considered the solenoide but it sounded a bit expensive (80 quid). Did anyone try this out on a corsa?

Thanks

12 quid is a very good price, from where can I get one?
the 80 quid on was three times bigger then that one.

Try the boot release mech from an Escort if you want it the mechanical way.

Or go to the rally specialists for a cable pull and you'll need a bit of simple DIY for it to work. I'd always prefer a cable pull mechanical release IMO.
