The fun begins :(

Opened one time too many plus design flaw, I'm sure your not the first LK

Promise: no jokes about hearing a pin drop ... Probably a quality problem and it was ready to break for ages and Mr Murphy came out when your car was clouted. Glad you solved it though.

So today I found the cause of the boot lid not lifting....
The passenger side ram that opens the boot has a pin through into the frame. The pin has sheared for some reason

Now just need to find out why. Any suggestions?

Yep, lose the boot spoiler LK, obviously far to heavy for the pin!!!

Here's a shot of the problem...

That's how it should look..

The pin in the top of the ram should be in the hole in the frame fortunately looks like an easy fix with a stick welder.

And all fixed. Happy sunny days...

All this lovely sunshine and I've had to use the S204 all weekend instead of the SLK - the joys of having family visiting (staying nearby) and needing to transport this, that and herself's shoes and/or leave parking space on the driveway. They're off home tomorrow so hopefully the sunshine stays so I can get the SLK out, especially as our favourite pubs have big gardens so a ride and a pint is possible!!
