Hi all Great to find this website! I have an original M reg VR6 (auto...but don't hit me please..). Anyway I wonder if anyone could help with a prob I have with the boot? I opened the boot this morning and the alarm went off (not sure why but maybe I hadn't shut it properly overnight...). I reset the alarm and shut the boot. Problem is now that I can lock/unlock the rest of the car with my GT alarm fob but the boot remains firmly shut :( Any ideas? Thanks Adam VR6Pilot
