Does anyone know how to add a solenoid to open the boot, with the wiper motor still tacked??  :shocked:

wiper motor is no where near the boot catch! just put a central locking pump in and wire it to a sprung switch!

I have done it on mine its fiddly but easy once you get your head round it a solenoid mounted in the inner skin and a tube with a wire in like a bike brake cable, loop it round the hole in the catch and nip up the bolt, job done!
