Not sure if I have an issue with my boot / trunk opeining or not on the X.
When I press the keyfob to open the boot, it just barely releases the lock n no more. Its also fairly heavy to lift ( for the wife)
I'm wondering if the hydraulic rams have failed or are on their way out?
On the Audi it more or less pops right up?
I must get it checked!

Jim

 

Yeah, I'd check the struts for the trunk...unless you like giving jag your money!

 

Jim on the X types the bootlid just releases and no more.I brought this up atJags X Type seminar about why the S type fully realeases and lifts but the X just releases.They said it would mean serious ££££s toreposition the hinges etc and were not even considering doing it.
My bootlid raises easily by hand so maybe you have a problem with at least one of your rams...then again maybe not if yoiu find iteasy to lift.

 

Oh didn't realize you said its hard for the wife to open up...but than again my wife has no problems opening ours...I'd look into how much the hydraulic struts are...my guess would be that being the issue...

 

I have a similar problem in one ofmy cars . Especially if I don't open the hood let's say for a week ,I hit the button and hear the "clunk" but it refuses to be poppedout . I manually release it andcloseit slowly and after very 1st hitting the same buttonon the fob ,hood is opened .

 

Mine has had a problem from the keyfob to realease the latch by the fob but I usually don't use the fob to pop the trunk just unlock and hit that awesome little green button!

 

Come to think of it Buck I seem to remember you posting about this before[&:]...lol....memory's goin mate.
Its fairly heavy for me to open but not problematic.......is for her though....she's only 5'1" ....lol
I reckon maybe the rams have gone[&:]
Get them done when I get a new job and some £££

Jim

 

Get another job slacker!

 

Lol......I'm tryin trust me

Jim

 

Ha ha...I'm the one that needs to get A job!!! No actually I need this whole car audio thing to freaking work out...sell some more product!!!

 

Looks like I might be in a similar position bro. Gonna try workin for myself, setting up an agency / dealership and sell other companies parts direct.
I know where all the customers are, I know where all the suppliers are and I know the market......should work[&:]...lol
Only difference is now, I have a bad month and we don't eat

Jim

 

Sorry to hear that mate...you start with some saved up money first...to get you through the rough spots???

 

Long story mate
saved is a 5 letter word..........the again.....so is broke....lol
See how it goes

Jim

 

LMFAO! That was much too good mate. The fact is, you have to get your money to work for you, not you work for your money. If any of you read, take some time and pick up the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Great financial advice and not all numbers and lectures that are boring. Instead plenty of stories of how the financial principles of which the author talks about apply to daily life! A business, ALWAYS, is the right way to go. Even if 90% of small businesses fall within the first 5 years, but it's always a great growing experience and it allows you to pick yourself up and head in a positive direction. Money saved up is pivotal.

 

Yeah for sure...shoot if I could open a store for a year i'd be psyched...meet so many people help out soo many people and it starts all the connections and what not...find a guy that sells rims, properties and all of that kind of stuff...word of mouth spreads quite fast!

 

That's exactly right ,I mean last part of your message . That's why customer satisfaction should be important

 

Yeah my problem is that I care too much!
