that rubbing going up the driveway will be the tyre hitting the rear seabelt bolt. its located at the front of the inner wheelarch on both sides. ide get teh grinder out and cut it down b4 it eventually putures the tyre (i had to do tthe exact thing on my commo, and now no rubbing at all with 19x8 wheels.) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

we put monroe shocks in the front and air shocks in the rear Psi Wagon, nah it doesnt rub on the seatbelt bolt, it actually rubs the front guard coz one morning as we pulled into the driveway at work the tyre grabbed the guard and pulled the guard lip out

Mine doesn't have an under bonnet light as it's only a berlina ... but all of the calais wagons started that way anyway, so maybe they didn't put it in? i think the button to open the rear gate would be a custom job ... there is a release if you open the gate and have a look on the lining inside the car behind the lock mechanism on the gate, there is a little hole, if you look in there, there's a manual release in case you manage to lock yourself in the boot and have a cage installed. if you strapped a custom central locking solenoid onto that so it pulled the latch and held it you could probably achieve the same thing, if your alarm had provisioning for that?

yer i think it is an after market switch as it didnt really feel like a factoury switch you think its possible to rig this set up to the same spot as the sedans in the glove box? and on the same botton thing and what would be needed?
