    Legacy wagon boot lock

    Have you had all the boot lining off to see what is working and what isn't?  Could the cable at the handle end have popped off? 

     

    Usually it's the wiring as it travels between the body and the boot gets severed eventually with these models which is probably your issue NTYCME. Pull the rubber boots up and you might find a few damaged wires.


    From what I can see when I pulled the lining off everything is working. I completely agree about the wiring I had patched up the wires a couple of years ago. When I had issues with it again I took it to an auto electrician in November and they replaced everything in the left (drivers side) loom. Would there be something in the right hand side loom to do it? I had a look but it looks repaired and heavily taped up

    Hey team I’ve got a 2005 legacy wagon h6. I’m having trouble getting the rear door to lock, I had the actuator replaced this time last year and all the loom going into the door replaced 2 months ago. All other doors work fine and you can hear the actuator and see it pulling the door but it won’t lock/disengage the handle. Anyone got any thoughts on my next step on this slightly annoying as I can’t lock the car without flicking that white lever on the actuator

    Is the thud coming from under the gear lever? Or further towards the rear of the vehicle? 

     

    You said it won't happen when braking or accelerating. Are you releasing the clutch with no throttle input when it happens then?

     

     

    Went for a drive today sound like it's at the front of the engine at very least engine bay. Sorry I was meaning it won't happen if I plant my foot on the accelerator or brake. Releasing the clutch with or without throttle give the same noise. Think I will grab one of the guys for the garage and go for a lap of the block. Thanks for the help

    I'd be checking engine mounts, engine stay (the dogbone from top of block to the firewall) and rear diff bushes.

     

    For the first two -- rev the engine in neutral and see if it moves around too much.  For the rear diff bushes, crawl under the car and have a peek - they're pretty obvious when gone.

     

    Engine stay feels pretty solid and doesn't seem to move much. Shitty weather and no garage wasn't so keen to crawl under the car. Thanks for a starting point

    I'm not the most mechanical of people but I've noticed a thud whenever I release the clutch while moving. It won't happen when braking or accelerating. I had the transmission mount replaced the other week any ideas before I take it to the garage for a look.
