Boot catch freaking out

[BikNorton]

On Wednesday the boot catch went mental - when I went to the car it stayed locked tight. After a few lock/unlock cycles eventually it unlocked after I opened the driver's door... but then when I shut it it'd pop open again! Lock/unlock a few more times and eventually it stayed shut. Drove to the supermarket, and it was jammed shut again, rinse and repeat. When I got home I made sure it stayed shut and locked, then didn't touch it yesterday... and seems fine again this morning :?

Is this sort of thing common? Is it the start of my car's electrics "doing a Renault"? I can't imagine my insurers would be terribly impressed to learn the boot randomly pops open and/or refuses to shut!

Can't say I've had anything like that happen. If you're still in warranty, it's probably worth getting that checked out.

Yeah, it's under 18 months old; I've been meaning to get it in for a rattly back seat (for all the good they'll be able to do) and the crappy cold running fix. A security issue will probably get me round to it, and while I'm there they can check the suspension boot things.

Nice little list!

solenoids connecting wire has came loose, common problem in clio's as they use the same solenoids and locking mechanisms
