I've just changed the globe in the tail light of my mrs territory and now the boot wont stay shut, the latch wont engage. I've removed the light and replaced it but that hasnt made a difference. I have no idea what the go is, i went no where near the latch at any stage.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreceated

Lol why would u ask on here....... Haha

Because I joined while I had an import, because its a car forum, because a whole lot of the guys here have daily drives, because I've received great help from people here previously, because there are a whole lot of people here with great technical knowledge... You're right tho, terrible place for me to ask a car question.

I did want to ask on a Ford forum Steven but I didn't know my Mrs login details so I asked the question on two forums I was a member of, sorry again to have put you out with that deano!

And yeah we did manage to get the ball joints replaced too. It's unlike Ford to bugger up cars hey haha!

ha ha! i hear what your saying but yeah, give a ford forum a shot as your problem might be a common one, i personally dont know of anyone who is into imports and would have (for instance) a territory as a daily. . . unless they are masochists! :-)

Hahaha trust me mate it wouldn't have been my first choice! It does the job tho I guess, fits the dog in the back seat which was all but impossible in the 32 or 180 and it hasn't rolled over going around a round about!

Cheers mad, I just pulled the latch apart and all is well now

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
