Omega General Help / Re: Can't get the boot to shut, any ideas?

Cheers guys, a lot of useful ideas.

I tried giving it a good squirt last night with WD40, left it for a couple hours, had a little play, problem solved.

Looks like the boot catch was just slightly seized.

Omega General Help / Can't get the boot to shut, any ideas?

« on: 23 December 2007, 17:18:05 »

I've just bought myself an 1994 Omega saloon and I've just discovered a problem with the boot. It won't stay shut.

After having a closer look at it, I suspect its the boot catch thats faulty. You can close the boot, but once you go over a bump in the road, or shut one of the doors, it opens itself again. Another big concern is that when parked up, you can quite easily pull the boot open without a key when its locked, or even using the latch. Luckily the alarm will sound, but its still not all that convienient.

Is this a common problem? and if so, have I diagnosed the problem correctly? I'd be greatfull if someone else could confirm or correct my diagnosis and let me know where I can pick up a new boot catch.

Many thanks,
Tom
