Hi folks,

Well, I just back home from work and guess what.  The pin from one of the boot 
hinges had apparently fell out - leaving the trunk lid supported by only one 
hinge.  The pin in the other hinge is OK - flush with the hinge, but the pins 
in the hood hinges look like they may also go AWOL, both sticking out about 
1/16 inch.  Has anybody experienced this?

At the very least, I would suggest adding this to your quick weekly inspection 
of the car.

Before I start the quest (undoubtedly futile) for a suitably sized drill bit to 
cut up as a replacement pin, has anyone got a spare hinge they would like to 
sell?  

Regards, Adrian
