Big Al Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The retracting spring in the pull-out rear load cover for my 2003 2.2Hdi estate failed yesterday. I heard quite a loud noise like a spring uncoiling, and now there is no tension in the pull-out cover. I had a look but there doesn't seem to be an obvious fix. Anyone come across this? I can't find a reference by searching the forum. Any help is appreciated as the new part, which comes complete with the parcel shelf bit, is £300! Quote

Big Al Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 eBay or breakers for a cost to decide if you want to mess about. You Know It Makes Sense...... Sound advice. I got a quote of £85 from a breakers, but it was for a later ('05) car. Surprisingly it was a different design. Not the sort of thing I expected to change, especially as the rear of the car looks pretty much the same as the original version. Will keep trying the breakers/eBay since it doesn't look fixable. Hopefully something will turn up. Quote
