Chris does your rear boot latch have an actuator which isn’t pulling down the last bit of the boot tightly like my bmw 5 series tourer hatch has?

Really nice to see people working on normal cars the hyper cars are good but this is real !

The frame might be bent as the side that won't click is the side that got hit. A frame machine will tell you really fast if that's the issue

good job Man👌

Great video and looking good. 👍👍👍👍

smashing it out the park matey!! keep making epic content legend!

This kit ship to US ?

Love the seats.

The production quality of these videos is off the scale. Did you employ the old Top Gear production teams ?

You deserve big success Everyone on your channel kerps trying to compare you to matt and i think its unfair You are very different Matt is full of energy in his vids Where your vids are either longer or seem to have much more crammed into them so we get more content per episode keep it up chris dont change your smile It maybe slow goin but kerp doing what your doin and your chanel will get up there with some of the big channels 🎉

Who is this Chris slix? Wtf?

Was that the Pole connection cover you pulled out of the fanbox?

I found Mat Armstrong at 75k subscribers. You are at 153k. I love this channel. I love where you are in your journey. Best of luck Bro !!!

Very brave. I hope you have the same success that Mat has enjoyed.

for my first car im getting a 350z and im gonna get the same body kit so this will help me figure out how to fit it a bit thanks

Hey Chris I made a loss on my TT, I used to make Audi TV commercials BTW. I tried selling it on FBMP and got lots of INSANE responses. DO NOT DO THIS. I replaced the problem TT with an awesome 350z like yours but lower milage and black leather interior. And I'm loving it. It's 2yrs older than the TT but feels newer and has higher spec all round!

Try just locking the car and see if it pulls to???

Rubber stops causing you grief on the boot. Adjust those

Great video that mate. Nice to see you getting stuck in just you, the car and the camera. Hell of a project this one. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Chris your doing great bro . 🎉

There’s a secondary soft close motor, check the lower latch section and there will be cable that runs to the side and into a motor. This motor will be seized and once replaced the soft close will activate and shut the boot to fully closed position. Hope this helps Chris.

That tesco in Syston that's why I'm from

My thoughts are if its had a wack on the rear wing that would put the boot panel out and all you can do is adjust everything the best you can it will never be perfect unless you jig it which should have been done first . Good luck great vid 👍

That big thick yellow stripe looks awful

You make this build look so easy lmao. You pay so much attention to detail.

tnx for the video

You look tired mate, don't burn yourself out

Car most have cost a fortune to repair

I had this exact issue with my facelift C class coupe. It would leave a 1cm gap when closing, turns out it was the gear motor that controls the latch which was replaced under warranty.

Latches have 2 stages half closed and closed. When you pulled the anchor in it is now only hitting the half closed. Pull the anchor down a little bit more. That’s if it doesn’t have soft close and that’s not working.

Music spoiled it so give up 😂

Good work Chris. Looking brilliant. What's the final plan with this car?

Give a BIG 🦢 wings to this BEAST

Soft closer will pull the boot in so that’s probably what’s missing. You won’t have it on the doors but most auto boots on Mercs have soft close.

The whole car probably has a bit of a twist in it. Not sure how you’d sort that out

How much did the seats cost?

Well done on the background music....!!

You either have soft close not working or you need to lower the latching part down not the hook on the boot.

Looks like theres a buckle in the boot on the top left hand side? Certainly looks like it when your hex lights are on it.

Enjoy the vids no house tours or track racing just fixing cars,keep it up❤❤

Chris always lift the front wheels off the ground to bleed the steering system. Takes the pressure off of the pump while you rotate the wheels and get the air out. Also make sure you start the process in the straight ahead position, only start turning once the system stops taking fluid as it'll bleed the final air out, and not draw any air in if you keep the fluid level up

Rubbers needed to adjusted on the boot on each corner

Looking 🔥

Is the boot lid soft close? If the soft close isn't working it won't pull the boot lid / hatch into its final position.

Well done Chris - was wondering when the next instalment was going to land and it didn't disappoint. Interior looks lovely and looks like you've got some suggestions in the comments on how to sort the boot alignment. Keep it up!

Soft close needs to engage then boot will be tight

Soft closure is not working 👍👍

Great work as always. Boot catch, as others have suggested soft close maybe. Also I had a similar issue on other latches in the past. Some latches have two positions, one to catch and second on be fully closed. Try adjusted the other way (opposite of what you tried in the video) so the latch can reach the second point. Worth a shot. Mark
