Can't open my boot!
Well, that was fun! After finding nothing online about a boot release... had to take drastic measures! Back seats had to come out along with an anchor bar so I could crawl into the boot! I wasn't able to release the boot from the inside but I did manage to move that catch into the different position. Crawled back out but still couldn't use the latch and the key still wouldn't budge... I jiggled the key out of frustration then it popped open! Double checked the catch was in the correct position (I must have knocked it before) and reluctantly closed the boot, opened right up with the key and with the latch! What a ballache that was...

Can't open my boot!
Ah, that looks like a catch for disabling the latch on the inside of the car... Still unsure how to open it from the inside!

Yeh there is a gap, is there an emergency boot release handle somewhere I can reach?

Can't open my boot!
The other day the latch inside the car to open the boot stopped working (was just loose like the boot was already open) but I could still open it with the key... Now this morning, I opened up the boot with my key, closed it then realised I forgot to put something in so put my key back in and it won't even turn, like something is blocking it. I've tried to take the cover off the lever but I can't seem to work it over the lever and fuel cap release... thankfully my fuel cap still opens (So I filled it up just in case!!) What do?

would 3 be wrong?
I see zero things wrong with this...

Laptop maintenance
Mine is overclocked to 4.5GHz... 720p isn't the best resolution to run this sort of benchmark

You can remove the engine undertray and have a look that way...

3D11 was the performance preset, no others were available with the demo. Firestrike is the Extreme preset

Speakers
So after a few weeks of living with the monster 15" sub I decided it was a bit too much... so I decided to use the amp that came with it to power my old one. Simply had to drill a hole in it to allow the speaker wire in and was good to go!! I now have an all in one sub powered by a dedicated amp, ended up having to attach the amp to the back as it became too tall

Laptop maintenance
I could do but that one is outdated now by Firestrike... Downloading Firestrike now, I'll do 11 also

Laptop maintenance
Yeh I avoid multiple GPU's as much as possible... it doesn't work the majority of the time so it's not worth. The 980ti is equivalent to a 1070... sometimes the 1070 is better and vice versa

Possible boost leak
That would make sense why you were hearing all the noises but not losing power!
-
Possible boost leak
The turbo inlet hose? Are you referring to the pipe that connects the turbo to the intercooler?
-
Possible boost leak
Not sure what that connection is you have pictured... I would certainly check the connection coming out of the turbo to the intercooler, also the connection between the intercooler and throttle body

Used Infinity Wax's dark wax for the first time today... was a bit of a sceptic when it came to the "active scratch fillers" but it blew me away how good a job it did at hiding my many little surface scratches, the joys of having a black car!! Do love a mirror finish tho... :D

Fao daily drivers
Non-resonated centre section and a big back box and you will be heard :D

Fao daily drivers
Yeh my wheel bearing started going after I drove a few miles with a caliper siezed on... it's due a service anyway so I'll get my garage ti change it! It's been whining for over a year so can't wait to get rid of the noise!
-
Fao daily drivers
I daily mine. See over 300 miles to a tank, don't have a resonator and have got a 4.5" afterburner backbox. All standard cats removed and have a sports cat downpipe. It's pretty loud but not stupid... can easily have a conversation with the Mrs. Can even hear my wheel bearing is getting worse... must be really bad if I can hear it quite clearly!

Thanks adrian flux
Mine is due in May, will be interesting to see what my renewal with Flux will be!

Laptop maintenance
Yeh I'm rocking a 980ti...In that awkward position that the only way to get a decent jump in performance would be to go to a 1080ti... don't have 700 quid to upgrade my GPU! It looks like my laptop may be on it's way out, got an intermittent fault where the USB ports don't want to work. I initially assumed it was my mouse as it was old and get's abused in my bag. Seems to have been OK for the past few days, will try updating drivers and see if it resolves it permanently

Anyone running door speakers off an amp?
I run my speakers off the head unit and it's plenty loud! I would maybe wait and see what your new headunit is like...
