anyone?

i duno but for the punto in the max power haynes manaul id say bout 2-4

I thought having no lock on the boot is a MOT failure ?

to de-lock it, the difficulty depends on whether you are a good welder, filler and sprayer. if you can do all of those, then you shouldnt have any problems.

surley for somthing as small as a lock hole, filler would hold it, fill it in, sand it down spray it ?

one of my friends de-locked his fiesta after a break-in, and glued a metal plate on behind where the door-lock barrel is. the metal plate kept on sinking and leaving a groove around where the door-lock should be. he got so fed up of repairing it all the time he got the plate welded on.

If you just use filler it is a lot easier to break into!

Its fairly hard to be honest to do it urself.

Yeah but if you take the lock out completley and put some wire mesh behinde the back, then fill it and smooth, they wont know its there if they cant see it ?

Should be OK providing the plate (inside the tailgate) that the filler is put on is welded and not stuck on.

Its a 'stard to weld on the Cinq, and part of the tailgate needs cutting away with a grinder to leave it flush...its not impossible by any means, but Id rather leave it to a pro.

As Long you have access to the boot, e.g. interior pull handle it will not be a mot failure.

i have heard of people knockin that bit with a rubber hammer to knock the bit of body work that the lock leave behind flat an then filling over that! (if that makes sence) and with fine mesh behind it that theoritically should b enough, shouldnt it?

i well fancy a smooth boot an wouldnt mind havin a go myself, anyone wanna spray a boot door on the cheap for me?

I did my 126 in about 3 hours (havent done the paint) bought a solenoid from maplins costing about £8 and welded the hole up.

I had removed my rear wiper so i used the switch on the dash to open it.

worked great.

so did u wire in a solinoid to pop the boot when u press the rear window wiper?
