hello,
my boot has never been in top condition as long as i have had the car, sometimes failing to close properly on one side, or the handle sticking etc etc I'll get round to it one day.
well, today it decided to stop working all together, the lever stopped activating the mechanism to open it.
the rear wiper came off, and i proceeded to remove the reg plate lights, the exterior screws, then the inside moulding and whittled it down until i had the mechanism in my hand. after a bit of playing and looking at it, it seems a holding washer/grub is missing, how, and since when, i have no idea. It may have been loose in the assembly and fell out when i took it all apart, but i don't know, i scraped the floor with a large magnet, but no luck, it may be copper/brass. anyway, does anyone know where i might be able to get a replacement washer/grub thingy, or might it be easier to get a replacement from a scrappy, are the bravo mechanisms the same by any chance?
here's a photo with the red circles indicating what it looks like, and on the right, where it is missing.
cheers, Allan
