Just a quick one, the boot on the Elite won't open, everything checks out i.e nos switch fitted  and fuses checked, but no action up the rear end. So presuming there must be a duff solenoid lurking somewhere, just need some idea as to where. tia

Saloon ?
there's a manual pull release for emergencies .
does the remote open it ?

I've temporarily rigged up a pull cord to the manual release, but other than that there's no sign of life by either using the switch or remote, so thinking there's no electrickery somewhere up the lid end

Broken wire somewhere around the boot hinge area?

I presume that you've allowed the three to four seconds while holding the button on the dash in.

Does it pop off the remote

No. He said so three posts ago.

Broken wire, worth having a look around for. Also yes to waiting 3-4 seconds for the release, my two cop cars are a lot quicker than the Elite for some reason.-

Has it had Hilpers boot mod done? Possible that something has come undone

No idea Al, car came from Elite Pete about 10 years ago, and iirc SP30 before that, and up to date no probs with it during my ownership So I'll break out my best club hammer tomorrow and 'fix it' proper!
