Boxster Hood

tend to agree Mark , mine is standard still ( apart from the non raising roof that is ) plus I see if you insulate pin 18 and 15 you can just bypass the handbrake switch anyway. Amazing what I am learning :-)
Just need to find a good auto electric guy in my area , not easy.

I have heard good reviews about these guys:
AUTOFARM | Porsche Specialists For Over 35 Years - Oxfordshire Buckinghamshire Cotswolds

It looks like they are pretty far south but perhaps they could give you a recommendation of a qualified Porsche shop near you. It's worth a phone call.

Hi all
Have cracked it thanks to you guys.
It was EXACTLY what I told the two auto electricians , the switch in the hood latch housing !
I still need to get into it to either clean or replace it. Have tried levering the plate that houses the interior lights and the opening for the switch but it dont wanna move. Cant try too hard or I will snap it , is there a trick to taking it off ???
Thats the first time I have ( almost ) mended a car in 45 years , feels good :-)
Regards
Steve
