Great advice Jomarkh, will give it a go. Thanks.

Thanks Dave. Will probably wind up going with it for convenience as only 5 minutes down the road.

Perfect thanks folks. Fingers crossed on the part front.

Thanks Alb. My son thought hydraulics related. Long wait for parts doesn't sound great but not much we can do about that.

Hi all. Have a 71 reg short range. Randomly the boot no longer opens normally. It feels heavy and won't stay up by itself. Due its first service shortly (£166 quote seems a lot 13k miles though) so will ask the dealer to have a look. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Thanks for the useful tip Jomarkh

Got the type 2 charger plus free gap insurance and autoglym coating thing. Also free mats. Would have had flaps too but none available. Good px...

Helpful advice Alb thanks

Thanks it does seem especially bad at this compared to other cars I've had

Thanks for the advice folks

Seemed to have issues demisting last night and wondered if anyone had any tips on the best , most efficient way to do this please without unduly draining the battery. Tried various combos of fan, AC and front screen demister. Seemed to fog up quicker than a normal car though it was very foggy...

Glad it's not just me. Luckily only a 10 minute drive home.

Thanks for that 5teep!

Thanks Mg5van. Maybe I'll just leave it and try and charge when I can to make sure all works OK.
