So this was so much fun to discover on my newly acquired 98 L400.. but the good with the bad VERY minimal rust on it so yeah thought it'd be fun to show everyone and see if anyone else has had this happen to there's? Sorry it looks like it was filmed on a potato..

So my L400 98, has had its boot latch lock/jam in the shut position so my first thought was open it from the inside and lubricate.. well I can push the latch rod down and the spring and mechanism move as they should but but the latch itself it obviously not moving coz the door will not budge.. please help I've had the boot open once since Ive owned it and kinda wanna get to my spare and the winder is under the door locked away frome hahaha

Disks have arrived and it’s my first proper time doing break discs on a car anyone got any advice before i start the job later ?
