Not had my XKR long but I found my key would not open the boot/trunk. Tried all the usual stuff i.e spraying it with wd40 etc several times no luck. Could not find the solution online anywhere so decided to have a go myself. I fixed it! Very chuffed with myself. So here is a little video I did of my fix. I hope this helps someone.

thanks for sharing the boot lock fix. what makes me courious are the twin pipes of your XK. would you tell me who the manufacturer is?

thanks

 

The pipes are factory stock on this year XKR.

 

Thanks for that. Yes they are. Just been replaced too by the previous owner.

 

Nice one, thanks for sharing

 

The fixings at 3:08 into the video are called 'Scrivets' (screw-rivets).



The same style of fixings are used on the front bumper undertray.

One lives and learns Thanks for that, though that name suggests a nasty disease.
