Come on Hogweed, have faith in what you have done . As you have admitted to not being mechanically minded , I think you've done really well so far . As for Pektron, you've probably sorted that area unless you get damp or water leaks getting into the car that will affect it .

Hi and from John in Pudsey Yorkshire . That's real bad luck with the alternator belt . Think I'll change mine even though its done less mileage but been on since I bought the TF 4 yrs ago .

Agreed .

Always used Forte Bio degreaser when I was in the trade . Used it on my ZR when the HGF. Ran it for about 4-5 days then drained and flushed the cooling system . Not a sign of oil after that. As for the engine oil , just a good flushing oil will do .

Those pesky Pektron relays ! Got mine done last year .

Ok , two things. Just remove the harness from that cable tie . In fact remove them all from the hinge . If you want to replace one of them ,I have some and ill post one to you .The shot of yours on the hinge is where mine has had the dealer cut the tie to give the harness more flex and room to move and check the wiring in that area . The boot switch should not put the light on when it is closed ( boot shut position ) . If it comes on itermmitently , that could be the cause as the system is sensing the boot being opened .
Hope that makes sense .
