Hi,

Further to my post some 3 weeks ago entitled ..."I've done something stupid...", on Saturday got local autospark out to the car-he used an auxilliary power sourse attached to something in the engine bay and hey presto the car electrics were powered up and the central locking worked and I was able to open the boot using the now functioning boot opening handle.No idea what was wrong with it but hoping it was a one off problem-in future will be leaving the bootlid ajar when disconnect the battery.
The boot lid lock still not working but can live with that for now.Took the Turbo RL out for a spin for first time in almost a month and now feel much more positive about Bentley Turbo RL ownership (the autospark only charged £30 for the home visit)

Thanks to all of you who so helpfully responded to my original query.

Have a happy Christmas,

Regards William aka misterdog

Glad you got her open. Sounded like a real situation there.

hi There

Good to hear it working.

also have a 96 TL, have you ever had problems with the electric front seats? Seem that on mine they don't go as far back as they used to?
