    Boot and Binet catches

    Just wondering about a couple of things on my punto

    1. My Bonnet pull handle has come out of its place - will the whole thing need replacing as I can't get the handle to clip back in

    2. The boot catch down by my seat is non existent all I have is a cable lol - can I buy a replacement catch handle bit or can i wire in a door solenoid to my alarm and would it fail the mot without the handle if I do fit one

    Cheers

    the handle will clip back, its quite a bastard to do though.

    and you can just buy a boot handle yeah, you would need to put a solenoid inside the boot hatch direct to the catch, not the cable because it requires alot more effort to pull the cable than direct on the catch, and no it wouldnt fail the mot.
