Some years ago we sold our house to next door-but-one, believe it or not! Didn’t even know they were looking. I could have saved a fortune in estate agents fees had I of known at the time 🙄

Yuasa are quire a respected brand and I've used them on both my FL1 and FL2. Do not buy 'cheap' - the FL is a power-hungry car and needs a heavy-duty battery

Looking at your first picture, I’m guessing you mean how do you get inside the tailgate? If so, the panel is only held on by clips… you ‘pull’ it off carefully using a trim tool (there are about 6 or 8 if I remember correctly). Then you lift it up and off - there are some more clips in the panel...

Yeah - the first pic was just ‘what I had done’. Then I wondered if anyone (apart from PO) would spot it Windows might be next…

Yeah, sorry, the difference wasn’t between those 2 pics, they were just showing the new look from different angles. 2 weeks ago the wheels used to look like this…

The sad thing is, this is all money being wasted paid out

Yes - they talk about ‘knocking sense into people’

Snap.

Have you read any codes from it?

Is it connected at the catch end? The fact that the handle is also broken suggests that perhaps it is being pulled too hard - which could suggest that the cables have stretched over time (needing more movement on the latch). If you replace them, be sure to tie some strong string to the old one...

Check that the release handle has returned correctly in the passenger footwell (as in it’s not stuck ‘open’)

It really depends what you want, but I think they sound a little expensive... maybe not if they are forecourt sales though, rather than private. Of course, it depends on the quality of them. Generally, the F1 is older but easier to work on. Check to see if it still has a prop fitted if you want...

Ok - cup half full; My new fuel cap retainer has been on for over 6 months now and is showing no signs of wear at all 😁

‘500’ server errors in abundance again today

Ah… still worth a phone call to Matt to discuss. Things may have changed. He’s a nice guy that will try to help. If you have a friend or family in the UK, perhaps they could help you… 😉

Even if not in UK, I’m pretty sure you could post it over to Matt for the fix. It’s only the ECM you need to send - so a 6” by 6” light box. Great service from the company - a few here have used them.
