Hi everyone i hope someone can give a Newbie some help. When i unlock the car there is a grumbling noise that seems to go on for ages coming from the boot. It only does it when unlocking not locking

It's more likely to be the central locking pump complaining :wink:

Funny u should say that there is a horrible smell in the car and i just thought it was the disgusting air freshener but maybe i should look in the boot for Tramp evidence    :laugh:

Spray some WD40 into the boot lock and check the air hose to it.
Then check the air pump in the offside corner of the boot, behind carpet below light cluster.
